Llorarás llorarás is a Tango written by and composed by Hugo Gutíerrez.
“Llorarás llorarás” is an evocative tango composition that circles around the themes of reflection, love, and inevitable sorrow. The piece narrates the experience of someone who, upon listening to a particular waltz, envisions the beloved pondering over past love. The power of music becomes a conduit of memory and emotion, evoking tears from involuntary reminiscences. It reflects the poignant reunion of feelings through auditory stimuli—signifying that memories and lost loves have a lingering presence.
The symbolism within “Llorarás llorarás” is rich with elements of musical and emotional imagery. The “vaivén del compás” symbolizes the dance of emotions that sway with the rhythm of the waltz. Instruments such as “pianos,” “violines,” and “bandoneones” are powerful symbols, representing the universality and depth of the stirring emotions that can arise from music. The imagery of sound climbing “por tu reja” suggests that memories are persistent and haunting, capable of penetrating personal boundaries with their “penas” and “quejas.”
Created on August 10, 1945, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, “Llorarás llorarás” emerged at a significant juncture in global and local history. In the aftermath of World War II, themes of loss and longing resonated globally, and Argentina was no exception. Buenos Aires, a vibrant hub of tango culture, was filled with post-war melancholy mixed with the remnants of passionate immigrant stories woven into its urban fabric. This gives the tango an added layer of depth, as it taps into the collective emotional zeitgeist of a generation.
Hugo Gutíerrez was a renowned composer known for his contributions to the tango genre with evocative and emotionally rich compositions that resonated deeply with audiences in and beyond Argentina.
