No nos veremos más is a Tango written by Alfredo Navarrine and composed by Lucio Demare.
The lyrics of “No nos veremos más” paint a poignant picture of parting and the dissolution of dreams that were once vibrant. The song tells a story of lovers bidding farewell, understanding that they will never see each other again. This parting is coated with a profound sense of finality, not just in separation but in the fading away of the illusions and hopes they once shared. The narrative is emotionally charged, capturing the quiet devastation of accepting that dreams built together will cease to exist.
The language of the song uses vivid imagery to deepen the emotional impact. Key phrases like “Con la sonrisa florecida” (With a blooming smile) and “El alma de un rosal que muere” (The soul of a dying rosebush) enhance the tragic beauty of the farewell. The “blooming smile” symbolizes a brave face put on in the face of sorrow, while the “dying rosebush” represents the death of flourishing love and dreams. The recurring references to “después, adiós” (then, goodbye) and the repeated entreaty to “Bésame otra vez” (Kiss me again), underlines the desperation and the poignant acknowledgment of their last moments together.
“No nos veremos más” was written in Argentina during the early 1940s, a period marked by political instability and the rise of populist movements in the country. This backdrop could mirror the song’s theme of upheaval and the death of dreams, mirroring the national sentiments of uncertainty and grief. The year 1943, in particular, was pivotal as it was marked by a military coup that changed the political landscape of Argentina. This historical context adds a layer of depth to the song, as it resonates with the broader social experiences of loss and disillusionment prevalent at the time.
Alfredo Navarrine was a prominent figure in Argentine Tango, known for his deep and emotive lyrics. His works often explore themes of love, loss, and existential melancholy.
