Letra del Tango Por algo será

Tus ojos tienen al mirar,
De una ilusión
Sin fruto, dolor.
Y en tu sonrisa hay el pesar,
De un loco sueño
Que triste murió…

Hay en tus besos,
La amargura de un amor,
Que nunca, nunca más
Ha de volver,
Y son las penas del querer,
Llora el recuerdo que se disipó…

Ayer te vi solita y apenada
Suspirando de emoción,
¡Por algo será!,
Y vi con gran pesar que tu mirada,
La angustia reflejaba
De tu desolación…

Al ir a consolarte, me dijiste
Que era inmenso tu dolor,
¡Por algo será!,
Y tus lágrimas rodaron,
Llamando al corazón
Que no te supo amar…

English lyrics of the Tango "Por algo será"

Your eyes when they gaze,
Hold an illusion
With fruitless pain.
And in your smile lies the sorrow,
Of a mad dream
That sadly died…

There is in your kisses,
The bitterness of a love,
That will never, ever
Return again,
And these are the woes of loving,
Cries the memory that faded away…

Yesterday I saw you alone and saddened,
Sighing with emotion,
For some reason!
And I saw with great regret that your gaze,
Reflected the anguish
Of your desolation…

When I came to console you, you told me
Your pain was immense,
For some reason!
And your tears flowed,
Calling to the heart
That failed to love you…

Story behind the Tango Por algo será

The tango “Por algo será,” poetically narrates the tale of a forlorn love, highlighting the emotional turmoil of an individual grappling with past memories and present despair. As the lyrics unfold, they describe how the lost love leaves a trace of bitterness and sorrow. The eyes and smile of the person reflect an intense sadness linked to dreams that died prematurely. This narrative encapsulates the theme of nostalgia and the pain of unreciprocated or lost affection.



Symbolism of Por algo será

The song’s repeated phrase, “¡Por algo será!” which translates to “It must be for a reason!” resonates as a refrain of resignation and attempted rationalization of suffering. Symbolically, the elements of the song such as ‘eyes,’ ‘smile,’ and ‘tears’ serve as mirrors to the soul’s condition, reflecting the depth of emotional upheaval experienced by the protagonist. The ‘tears’ signify the physical manifestation of inner pain, trying to reach out to the unloving heart, whereas the ‘eyes’ betray a lingering sadness despite attempts at composure.



Por algo será in historic Context

Released in 1943, during a period marked by global and local uncertainties due to World War II and its ripple effects in Argentina, “Por algo será” might have resonated deeply with contemporary audiences. The song’s themes of loss, disillusionment, and resigned acceptance could mirror the socio-economic and personal struggles faced by many during this tumultuous period. Thus, it serves not only as a personal reflection on lost love but also potentially as an allegorical lament for broader societal adversities.
