Letra del Tango Tal vez será su voz (Tal vez será mi alcohol)

Suena el piano, la luz está sobrando,
se hace noche de pronto y sin querer
las sombras se arrinconan
evocando a Griseta, a Malena, a María Ester.

Las sombras que esta noche trajo el tango
me obligan a evocarla a mí también.
Bailemos que me duele estar soñando
con el brillo de su traje de satén.

¿Quién pena en el violín?
¿Qué voz sentimental
cansada de sufrir
se ha puesto a sollozar así?
Tal vez será el rumor
de aquella que una vez
de pronto se durmió.
¡Tal vez será su voz, tal vez!
Su voz no puede ser,
su voz ya se apagó,
¡tendrá que ser nomás
mi propio corazón!

Era triste, era pálida y lejana,
negro el pelo, los ojos verde gris.
Y eran también sus labios al sol de la mañana
una triste flor de carmín.

Un día no llegó, quedé esperando.
Y luego me contaron su final.
Por eso con las sombras de los tangos
¡vanamente la recuerdo más y más!

English lyrics of the Tango "Tal vez será su voz (Tal vez será mi alcohol)"

The piano plays, too much light remains,
night falls suddenly, unintentional;
shadows huddle in the corners
evoking Griseta, Malena, María Ester.

The shadows that tonight the tango brought
force me to summon her as well.
Let’s dance as it hurts to be dreaming
of the glint from her satin dress.

Who mourns in the violin?
What sentimental voice,
tired of suffering,
has begun to sob like this?
Perhaps it’s the rumor
of one who once,
suddenly fell asleep.
Perhaps her voice, maybe!
It cannot be her voice,
her voice has faded,
it must be then
my own heart!

She was sad, pale and distant,
black hair, eyes greenish-gray.
And her lips in the morning sun
a sad crimson flower.

One day she did not come, I kept waiting.
Then they told me her end.
That’s why with the shadows of tangos
in vain I remember her more and more!

Symbolism of Tal vez será su voz (Tal vez será mi alcohol)

The interplay of shadow and light, alongside the melancholic melody of the violin, conjures an atmosphere of nostalgia and sorrow. References to the “voz sentimental” and the “propio corazón” symbolize a deep internal struggle with past affection and present pain, blurring the lines between external melancholy and internal echoes of a lost voice.
