Cada dia te extraño mas is a Tango written by and composed by Armando Pontier.
The core narrative of “Cada dia te extraño mas” revolves around the intense and persistently growing feelings of longing and regret experienced by the narrator. Throughout the lyrics, there is a battle between the heart and the mind, where the narrator attempts to suppress the memories of a lost love but finds himself unable to escape them. The struggle to forget is in vain, as each day only intensifies the emotions tied to this past relationship. There’s a confession of love, coupled with an acceptance that it might be too late for reconciliation, leaving the narrator alone with the burden of his emotions.
The tango is rich with symbolism and language that deepens its emotional impact. The act of trying to “borrar de mi vida” (erase you from my life) symbolizes the desire to move on from a past relationship that has left a lasting mark. The “grito de este amor” (the cry of this love) refers to the internal turmoil and silent suffering when unable to voice feelings. The phrase “cada día te extraño más” becomes a refrain that captures the growing sense of longing and yearning. The imagery of “tu imagen se agranda, se agranda y se aleja” (your image grows larger and larger and moves away) illustrates the paradox of a vivid memory that becomes more distant over time, enhancing the anguish of unattainable closeness. Furthermore, the mention of “cien caminos” (a hundred paths) indicates the numerous attempts to find peace or forgetfulness, reinforcing the theme of futile escape from one’s emotions.
Written in 1943 in Buenos Aires, the tango reflects the cultural and emotional landscape of Argentina during a time when tango music served as a poignant expression of personal and collective sentiment. Buenos Aires was a city where tango was more than just a musical genre; it was a way of life and an expression of the Argentine soul. The poignant emotions in this piece are a mirror to the complexity of love, loss, and longing felt during this period. The urban setting, where lovers and wanderers met and parted, contributes to the melancholic tone and emotional weight typical of tango.
Armando Pontier was an influential Argentine tango musician and composer, known for his emotive style and significant contributions to the tango tradition in the mid-20th century.
