Nosotros is a Tango written by Reinaldo Yiso and composed by Enrique Alessio.
“Nosotros” captures a poignant narrative of love lost, weaving a story of a relationship that blossomed like springtime but ended in separation due to pride and misunderstandings. These lyrics delve into the complex emotions of grief and regret that follow the unresolved conflicts and the silence that builds walls between loved ones. The imagery of spring turning to night as their love darkens is particularly evocative, pointing to the transition from warmth to coldness in their relationship.
In “Nosotros,” various symbols enhance the emotional landscape of the song. Spring represents the peak of their love, full of life and devoid of pain, juxtaposed starkly with the night and winter symbolizing the cold and darkness of their separation. The recurring reference to hearts illustrates the deep emotional connection shared, only to be defeated by pride—referred to here as the “miserable pride,” which alludes to the destructive nature of ego in personal relationships.
“Nosotros” was created in 1958, a time when tango was not just a dance but an expression of deeper societal emotions in Argentina. During this period, Argentina was experiencing significant political and economic changes, influencing artists to explore themes of loss, nostalgia, and personal turmoil in their work. The focus on intimate human emotions and the plight of separation in this tango reflects a collective sense of uncertainty and change that people were facing in their lives at that time.
Reinaldo Yiso was a notable Argentine lyricist renowned for his contributions to the Tango genre.
