Letra del Tango Sosiego en la noche

En el blando lecho que tiende el silencio,
recuestan su grave cansancio las horas.
Y duerme la noche mecida en el viento
que pasa volcando su carga de aromas.
A ratos, mezclado al rumor de la tropa
que cruza añorando blanduras de sueño,
la voz del camino se escucha muy honda
latiendo en el grito que lanza el tropero.

¡Huija… oh… oh…!
Chasquear de coscojos, sonar de cencerros,
rumor de los cascos batiendo en el suelo,
con sordo sonido que engulle el silencio.
Paisaje de estrellas, olor de poleo,
y allá donde corta la noche el sendero,
las sombras confunden la pampa y el cielo.

Cumpliendo el tropero su afán de horizonte
se hamaca en el blando vaivén de la marcha.
Y hundido en el manso sopor de la noche,
sus ojos se duermen buscando distancia.
Rompiendo el espeso algodón de las sombras
va lerda la tropa turbando el sosiego.
A ratos horada el silencio la honda
canción del camino que lanza el tropero.
¡Huija… oh… oh…!

English lyrics of the Tango "Sosiego en la noche"

In the soft bed spread by silence,
the hours lay down their heavy fatigue.
And the night sleeps, rocked by the wind
spilling its load of scents.
At times, mingled with the murmur of the troop
crossing, yearning for tender dreams,
the voice of the road is heard deep
beating in the cry the drover casts.

Huija… oh… oh…!
Snap of joints, ringing of bells,
sound of hooves striking the ground,
with a muffled sound that swallows the silence.
Landscape of stars, scent of pennyroyal,
and there, where the night cuts the path,
the shadows blend the plain and the sky.

Fulfilling the drover’s desire for horizon,
he sways in the soft sway of the march.
And sunk in the gentle stupor of the night,
his eyes fall asleep seeking distance.
Breaking the thick cotton of the shadows
the slow troop disturbs the tranquility.
At times, the deep
song of the road that the drover casts pierces the silence.
Huija… oh… oh…!

Story behind the Tango Sosiego en la noche

“Sosiego en la noche” translates to “Calm in the Night” in English, setting a thematic groundwork of tranquility intertwined with the night’s inherent introspection and subtle movement. The lyrics narrate the nightly journey of a ‘tropero’ (cattle drover), navigating through the vast pampas under a starlit sky, accompanied by sounds of the surrounding nature and his longing thoughts. This narrative encapsulates a meditative engagement with the environment, reflecting a deep connection between man and nature, contextualized by nocturnal calmness and the tropero’s solitary existence.



Symbolism of Sosiego en la noche

The repeated phrase “¡Huija… oh… oh…!” symbolizes the tropero’s ongoing dialogue with his surroundings, expressing the blend of exhaustion and the urge to persist. Symbolism is further infused through contrasting images of “silence” and the “deep voice of the road” that metaphorically beats in the “cry of the drover.” This contrast eloquently highlights the intermittent disturbances in peace and the constant push through the night. The “landscape of stars” and “smell of pennyroyal” converge the sense depiction, leading listeners to visualize and smell the nocturnal trek, thus enriching the sensory experience of the tango.



Sosiego en la noche in historic Context

Created in 1944 in Argentina, “Sosiego en la noche” emerges from a period marked by global and local uncertainties seconded by World War II and noticeable shifts in Argentina’s political landscape. This period’s reflective tone and longing for peace and stability might have profoundly shaped the song. The tango thus serves not only as a cultural artifact that portrays the timeless relationship between the Argentine people and the majestic pampa but also as a subtle commentary on seeking solace and steadiness in tumultuous times.
