Letra del Tango Triste revelacion

La clara luz de la luna
En el éter asomaba,
Y de curiosa alumbraba
La vidriera de un café.
En el interior se oía
El lamento, tristemente,
Y un reloj que lentamente
Con su alma indiferente,
Puntualizaba las diez.

De pronto cruza el dintel, apresurado y airoso
Un joven enamorado que recuerda su querer,
Invitando cordialmente, se manifiesta dichoso
Por un serio compromiso que acaba de contraer.
Siente frescas las caricias, amorosas de su amada
Y sintiéndose cautivo en las redes del amor,
Valeroso y satisfecho, cumplió la palabra dada
Sin pensar que en otra parte, mataría una ilusión.

Mientras tanto la “vitrola”
Con sus mágicos primores,
Iba derramando flores
De Magaldi y de Gardel.
Y la joven “vitrolera”
Que el relato había escuchado,
Dejando el disco olvidado,
Miró un momento a su amado
Con un sollozo y se fue.

English lyrics of the Tango "Triste revelacion"

The clear light of the moon
Peeked into the sky,
Curiously lighting up
The windowpane of a café.
Inside, one could hear
The lament, sadly,
And a clock, slowly,
With its indifferent soul,
Marking ten o’clock.

Suddenly, across the threshold rushes, hurried and graceful
A love-struck young man reminiscent of his beloved,
Cordially inviting, he shows himself happy
Because of a serious commitment he had just made.
He feels the fresh, loving caresses of his loved one
And feeling caught in the nets of love,
Brave and satisfied, he keeps his given word
Without thinking that elsewhere, he would kill a dream.

Meanwhile, the “jukebox”
With its magical delights,
Was spilling flowers
From Magaldi and Gardel.
And the young “jukebox girl,”
Who had heard the story,
Leaving the record forgotten,
Looked at her beloved for a moment
With a sob and left.

Story behind the Tango Triste revelacion

The lyrics of “Triste revelacion” paint a vivid picture of a scene unfolding under the moonlight by a café, where the internal happenings contrast sharply with the peaceful exterior. The song narrates the tale of a young man entering a café, jubilant and proud of a new commitment he has made in love. Unknown to him, his actions inadvertently shatter the hopes and dreams of another, leading to a poignant ending where his loved one, upon overhearing the conversation, leaves heartbroken.

Symbolism of Triste revelacion

“Triste revelacion” (Sad Revelation) is rich in symbolic elements that deepen the emotional impact of the story. The moonlight, a common symbol for clarity and truth, ironically illuminates a scene of misunderstanding and heartbreak. The “vitrola” playing tunes by Magaldi and Gardel introduces a nostalgic and possibly tragic air, as both singers are known for their emotive contributions to the genre of tango, often dealing with themes of love and loss. The juxtaposition of the lively, loved music with the unfolding despair adds layers of irony and tragedy to the scene.
