Letra del Tango Tango de la medianoche

Entre los sones del ronco fueye

Brilla la imagen de esa mujer,

Y en nubes de humo me envuelve

La prisión del cabaret.

Llora Margot en una mesa

Y en otra ríe Lilián,

Y así, entre risa y tristeza

Las horas vienen y van.

Tango de la medianoche

Tango que llevo en la sangre,

Suena, que tu llanto es hondo

Tal vez tu ruego me ablande.

Tango de la medianoche

Guarida del corazón,

Llevas la sal de mi vida

Metida en tu bandoneón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tango de la medianoche"

Among the sounds of the raspy accordion

Shines the image of that woman,

And in clouds of smoke, I am enveloped

By the cabaret’s prison.

Margot weeps at one table

And at another, Lilian laughs,

And so, between laughter and sorrow

The hours come and go.

Midnight Tango

Tango that I carry in my blood,

Play on, for your cry is deep

Perhaps your plea will soften me.

Midnight Tango,

Refuge of the heart,

You carry the salt of my life

Embedded in your bandoneón.

Story behind the Tango Tango de la medianoche

“Tango de la medianoche” translates to “Midnight Tango” in English, a song that captures the essence of a late-night atmosphere in a cabaret. The lyrics portray a scene filled with contrasting emotions, from Margot’s tears to Lilián’s laughter, encapsulating the highs and lows experienced by the patrons. This tango tells the story of an evening melting away into the wee hours, marked by dance and music, where personal stories unfold amidst the backdrop of a bustling nightlife scene.

Symbolism of Tango de la medianoche

The tango uses powerful symbolism to deepen its emotional effect. The “ronco fueye” (hoarse bellows) symbolizes the aged yet enduring spirit of the tango music. The “nubes de humo” (clouds of smoke) signify the transient, ephemeral nature of the cabaret’s nightly enchantments and possibly the fleeting nature of joy and sorrow. “Tango de la medianoche” repetitively in the lyrics not only emphasizes the song but also symbolizes a refuge or a sanctuary where one’s heart’s secrets are safe, nestled within the melancholic folds of the bandoneón’s music.
