No nos veremos nunca is a Tango written by Carlos Waiss and composed by Juan D’Arienzo.
The tango “No nos veremos nunca” translates to “We Will Never See Each Other Again” in English, embodying a narrative of eternal separation and loss. The lyrics poignantly articulate the feelings of someone who has lost a significant other, expressing a mixture of disbelief and resignation. The speaker laments the loss, and the song revolves around the certainty that there will be no reunion, submerged in a profound sense of irrevocability.
The narrative utilizes vivid imagery to intensify its emotional impact. The “relámpago de luz” or “flash of light” symbolizes a brief, intense moment of clarity or memory that fades into darkness of reality, aligning with the bleak outlook of never seeing the loved one again. Phrases like “mis pobres ojos ciegos van buscando” highlight the futility and desperation in seeking what is lost, emphasizing the blindness not just in sight but in hope. The “enorme cruz” suggests the burden of grief that the speaker carries, a personal crucifixion filled with suffering and sorrow.
“No nos veremos nunca” was recorded in 1944, a time when Argentina was marked by political uncertainty and social changes. The sentiments expressed in the tango might reflect broader themes of loss and disillusionment prevalent in society at that time. It could also connect to the personal grief of individuals coping with the impacts of World War II, making it resonate deeply with a wide audience. The emotional resonance of tangos during this era provided a form of solace and communal expression of the melancholic experiences many faced.
Carlos Waiss was an influential figure in the world of tango music, best known for his evocative lyrics that often explored themes of love, loss, and nostalgia.
