Es inútil que la llores is a Tango written by Luis Caruso and composed by Salvador Grupillo.
“Es inútil que la llores” translates to “It’s useless to cry over her” in English, capturing the essence of lost love and the futility of yearning for reconciliation. The lyrics delineate a tale of a person haunted by memories, walking “among shadows” and feeling deeply the sting of solitude. A pivotal moment in the lyrics, “Es inútil que la llores… Nada ya la hará volver,” suggests the irreversible nature of the loss — no amount of grief can bring back the departed love.
The song makes use of vivid symbolism to heighten the emotional expression. Phrases like “Vivir entre sombras” (Living among shadows) and “Que ya se hizo noche Sin luz ni canción” (It has already turned to night without light or song) evoke images of darkness and silence, symbolizing despair and loneliness. The absence of light and music underscores the void left by the lost love. Furthermore, the metaphor of ‘roads’ represents life’s journey with its many directions yet an elusive destination when devoid of companionship and love.
The tango was recorded in 1943 in Argentina, a time marked by political instability and the looming shadows of World War II. The national sentiment during such times was one of melancholy and nostalgia, which is deeply ingrained in the lyrics of the tango. The themes of loss, longing, and the irrevocability of past actions reflect not only personal grief but a collective sense of uncertainty and yearning for better times. The phrase “Rodarás por mil caminos más Y hasta el final Su nombre llorarás…” (You will wander a thousand more roads and until the end, you will cry her name…) can be seen as a reflection of this unending search for meaning and solace amidst chaos.
Luis Caruso was an influential lyricist in the tango genre, known for his deep emotional narratives set to the melancholic rhythms of tango music.
