La he vuelto a encontrar is a Tango written by Francisco García Jiménez and composed by Miguel G. Dramacker.
The tango “La he vuelto a encontrar” narrates the experience of encountering a beloved woman after a painful separation. The protagonist tells the story to an old friend, confiding the deep emotions stirred by this reunion. The tango conveys themes of love, nostalgia, and resignation, reflecting the melancholic tone often associated with the genre. This tango delves into the bittersweet nature of such encounters, where the joy of seeing a loved one again coexists with the sadness of past loss.
This tango uses potent symbolism and poignant language choices to enhance the depth of the storytelling. The lines “Una lágrima a mis ojos” (A tear has appeared in my eyes) and “Mi mirada de pesar” (My gaze of sorrow) symbolize the visceral and emotional impact of the encounter. The phrase “La he vuelto a encontrar” translates to “I have found her again,” encapsulating the poem’s essence in the rediscovery of a lost love. The reflection on the absence of bitterness despite past pain, as in “Sabrá que supe quererla / Y no sé guardar rencor…” (She will know that I knew how to love her / And I don’t know how to hold a grudge…), speaks volumes about enduring affection and forgiveness.
Recorded in 1931, “La he vuelto a encontrar” was written in a period when tango was the emotional outlet for many in Argentina, resonating with the universal themes of love and loss. During this era, tango lyrics often reflected personal narratives that resonated with the working-class people of Buenos Aires, who saw in them reflections of their own lives and struggles. The nostalgic tone captures the spirit of an era characterized by both romanticism and melancholy, providing a window into the socio-cultural dynamics of early 20th-century Argentina. The historic and geographic elements shape the song’s message and tone, infusing it with authenticity and raw emotion typical of the Argentine tango.
Francisco García Jiménez was a renowned lyricist and journalist, noted for his significant contributions to the genre of tango with his emotionally charged and vivid storytelling.
