No nos veremos mas (2) is a Tango written by Federico Silva and composed by Luis Stazo.
The Tango “No nos veremos mas (2)” beautifully captures the poignancy and finality of an ended relationship. The lyrics tell the story of a love that flourishes in different seasons of life but eventually sees its conclusion. The personas in the song realize too late what message their love story was meant to convey and now, at the time when they should have been dreaming together, they are saying goodbye. Time has moved them apart; one is in January, symbolizing the beginning, and the other in April, suggesting that their time has passed. The phrase “¡Adiós! Es la manera de decir ya nunca” translates to “Goodbye is the way to say never again,” emphasizing the definitive end to their connection.
In “No nos veremos mas (2)”, Silva uses poetic symbols to underscore the emotional weight of departure. Phrases such as “tu estás en Enero, mi Abril ya se va” use months to communicate differences in emotional states and stages of life, highlighting the dissynchrony between the lovers. The recurring cry of “¡Adiós!” acts as a painful realization of an inevitable end. The comparison of the farewell to a “thin thorn” vividly captures the lingering pain of separation, which, though sharp, might be small compared to the breadth of their shared past. The “bitter sugar” metaphorically portrays a love that, although initially sweet, ultimately leads to pain, infiltrating the bloodstream and engendering a deep emotional response.
As a 1963 Tango from Argentina, “No nos veremos mas (2) reflects the dramatic and often tumultuous spirit of the era. During this time, Argentina faced significant political and social changes, with sentiments of nostalgia and disillusionment common in artistic expressions. Tango, as a genre deeply embedded in Argentine culture, often mirrored these feelings, capturing the emotional landscape of its people during times of change. Silva’s tango, with its themes of parting and the passage of time, might resonate with those feeling a sense of loss amidst the rapidly changing world.
Federico Silva was an Argentine poet and lyricist known for his contributions to the Tango genre, crafting lyrics that often explored themes of love, loss, and emotional reflection.
