User:Joegrohens/List of tango song titles

This is a page for experimenting with a format for listing Tango song titles followed by their English translation.

TANGO SONG TITLE TRANSLATION
The purpose of this page is to provide English translations to Tango song titles.The history of Tango music is well documented. While the music is compelling enough, song titles must be remembered in order to discuss a particular song. Understanding the English translation helps non Spanish speaking persons connect to the music and increases their understanding of Spanish. Most, if not all, Tango song titles are in Castilian Spanish and/or a Lunfardo dialect. A Lunfardo dictionary is of great help in translating Tango song titles. Authenticity of Tango song tiles should be verifiable. Cite as may references as possible. Most of the composers have long since passed away, leaving us to make a best estimate of the composers' intent when they named the song. Some song titles can translate literally to English, others not so easily, and a few might be nearly impossible. We can only try. Song titles without translations herein are considered requests for a translation. Will this database someday encompass all the known Tango songs ever recorded? Maybe! As an example of how Tango song title names might be fully explored see Mi Noche Triste.

Several themes start to emerge from the translations of the song titles. They are: girls, boys, friends, lonely, love, love lost, dreaming, flowers, dance clubs, streets, horse racing, pimps, prostitutes, crying, colors, eyes, kissing, local people, family members, and the home land to name a few.

Note: Since the list is about work titles and not the works themselves, the link by title https://tango.info/work.a_oscuras is better than the link by code https://tango.info/T0370170958. There can be several works with the same title, but translation for them should in general be constant, e.g. https://tango.info/work.la_cumparsita.
