Letra del Tango Una noche de garufa

En esta noche de garufa yo me quiero divertir

con los amigos de bohemia en el viejo Armenonville.

La vida es corta y se pianta muy pronto,

en esta noche hay que vivir.

En las nostálgicas veladas vuelve el tiempo del ayer

con este tango que nos lleva como un sueño a su compás.

Viejos recuerdos, paicas papusas,

dulce momento del ayer.



Cómo me emocionan tus notas

en esta velada porteña,

deja que la música embriague

para hacer, del tango una fiesta.

Yo te soñé

como nostalgia que vuelve, vida,

en suaves noches de luna, de antes,

son los recuerdos que añoro

de la garufa que ya se fue.



Viejo recuerdo tanguero

quiero vivir esta emoción,

besar tus labios rojos,

muchacha diquera.

Que se enciendan los faroles

para alumbrar esta ilusión

de ver tus ojos negros

brillando por mi amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Una noche de garufa"

On this night of revelry, I want to have some fun

with bohemian friends in old Armenonville.

Life is short and fades away too soon,

tonight we must live it up.

In nostalgic evenings, the times of yesteryear return

with this tango that carries us like a dream to its rhythm.

Old memories, charming street girls,

sweet moments of the past.

How your notes move me

on this Buenos Aires evening,

let the music intoxicate

to make a celebration of the tango.

I dreamed of you

as a returning nostalgia, life,

in soft moonlit nights of old,

these are the memories I long for

of the revelry that has passed.

Old tango memory

I want to live this emotion,

to kiss your red lips,

stylish girl.

Let the streetlights be lit

to illuminate this illusion

of seeing your dark eyes

shining for my love.

Story behind the Tango Una noche de garufa

“Una noche de garufa” translates to “A Night of Revelry” in English, capturing the essence of a lively evening filled with enjoyment and festivities. The lyrics by Gabriel Clausi invite the listener into a scene of carefree indulgence with friends in a nostalgic setting, likely a beloved venue from the past such as the famed Armenonville in Buenos Aires, known for its vibrant nightlife. Clausi emphasizes the brevity of life and the importance of seizing the moment to experience joy and connection.



Symbolism of Una noche de garufa

The recurring motifs in Clausi’s lyrics involve nostalgia and the sensory revival of past emotions through music. “Con este tango que nos lleva como un sueño a su compás,” suggests how tango music, symbolic of Argentine cultural identity, transports individuals back in time, allowing them to relive cherished memories. The phrases “viejos recuerdos” and “dulce momento del ayer” highlight a yearning for the happiness of former days, and the music serves as a vehicle for that temporal journey.



Una noche de garufa in historic Context

The tango, recorded in 1966, a time marked by political and social changes in Argentina, presents a contrasting backdrop of escapism through the nostalgic and timeless scenes depicted in “Una noche de garufa.” This song likely offered a momentary respite for its audience, amid the era’s tumult. The specific call to the “viejo Armenonville” reflects a deeper connection to Buenos Aires’ rich cultural history, particularly its belle époque era when tango was blossoming into a major cultural phenomenon.
