Known as "Pirincho" Canaro, he had a career that spanned many decades, and his orchestra was one of the most recorded. Much of his recorded music is in the classic salon style of the 1940s, but he is also considered a member of the old guard, and some of his later recordings contributed to the transition to concert tango. For many contemporary dancers and listeners, his early golden age recordings are the best.
Canaro composed the music for the 1915 Argentine classic, Nobleza gaucha.
Noches de Buenos Aires
Francisco Canaro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin cariño y sin hogar,
Lejos de mi Buenos Aires
Imposible de olvidar.
Siempre huyendo y en tangos
Sin parar de caminar,
Si la vez que oigo un tango
The lyrics of Francisco Canaro's song "Noches de Buenos Aires" depict a deep sense of longing for the city of Buenos Aires that the singer has left behind. The first two lines describe the sad situation and loneliness of the singer, who is far from home without any love or a place to call home. The words create an image of a broken-hearted man who is struggling to find his place in the world.
The next two lines indicate that despite being far away from Buenos Aires, the singer cannot forget the memories attached to the city. The words "imposible de olvidar" suggests that the memories are too deeply ingrained in his mind and heart, and he cannot shake them off. The following two lines reveal that the singer has resorted to the only way he knows how to express his pain—by dancing tangos. He never stops moving, always running away from his problems, but he cannot escape the memories that haunting him.
The final two lines convey the intensity of emotions the singer experiences while listening to the tango. The word "madre" invokes a sense of despair and hopelessness in his heart, and he cannot help but cry. The lyrics of "Noches de Buenos Aires" capture the essence of a person's struggles with leaving home and the memories that make it impossible to forget.
