Qué será? is a Tango written by Tito Guizar, Pepe Guizar and composed by Pepe Guizar.
The song “Qué será?” vividly portrays the complex emotions of love and attraction, mixed with confusion and apprehension. The narrator repeatedly questions why they feel so strongly, depicting a deep sense of emotional turmoil and yearning. They experience both joy and fear when in the presence of their beloved, highlighting the dual nature of passionate love. Despite the joy the narrator feels, there’s a sense of unreciprocated affection, as their beloved neither looks at nor engages with them, adding layers of longing and rejection.
The repeating phrase “Qué será?” which translates to “What will it be?” or “What is it?” in English, serves as a leitmotif representing uncertainty and the elusive nature of the narrator’s feelings. This question underscores the overall ambiguity and the narrator’s inability to understand their own emotions or the lack of affection they face. The contrasts between happiness and fear within the lyrics symbolize the unpredictable and often contradictory nature of love. Additionally, the references to physical reactions such as crying, sighing, and trembling amplify the intensity of the emotions involved.
Recorded in 1938, “Qué será?” was created in a period when Tango was a profound medium for expressing personal and collective emotions in Argentina. The gestational period of the Tango involved the economic struggles and the societal shifts of the era. In this context, Tango often served as an outlet for the expression of deeper frustrations, desires, and defeats that were prevalent in the society at that time. “Qué será?”, with its themes of unresolved love and emotional turmoil, aligns with the melancholic, introspective essence typical of the Tango genre.
Tito and Pepe Guizar were prominent figures in the music field, known for their contributions to Latin music, particularly in genres such as Tango that extensively explore themes of love, nostalgia, and personal struggle.
