Letra del Vals Quién será

La noche que en el baile

tus ojos brujos se me clavaron,

algo sentí en mi alma

y amores nuevos me acariciaron.

Con tu antifaz cubrías

tus ojos que reían,

luego quedé muy triste

cuando te fuiste

sin un adiós.



Quién será, quién será,

me pregunto sin cesar.

Ilusión que te perdiste

y que un día volverás.

Quién será, quién será

dónde estás mi corazón,

que te busco entre las sombras

y te llevo en mi canción.



No sé por qué los vientos

me traen siempre nostalgia y pena.

Voces como lamentos,

murmullos tristes,

como la quena.

Por tu recuerdo vivo,

con tu recuerdo muero,

y en medio de esta angustia

mi amor te espera, por qué vendrás.

English lyrics of the Vals "Quién será"

The night at the dance

your bewitching eyes pierced through me,

I felt something in my soul

and new loves caressed me.

With your mask, you covered

your laughing eyes,

then I was left very sad

when you left

without a goodbye.

Who will it be, who will it be,

I ask myself without end.

A lost dream

that one day will return.

Who will it be, who will it be,

where are you my heart,

that I search for you among the shadows

and carry you in my song.

I don’t know why the winds

always bring me nostalgia and sorrow.

Voices like laments,

sad whispers,

like the quena.

I live through your memory,

I die with your memory,

and amid this anguish

my love waits for you, why you will come.

Story behind the Tango Quién será

The tango “Quién será” envelops a poignant tale of fleeting love and long-lasting yearning sparked under the magical ambiance of a masquerade ball. The protagonist encounters a mysterious individual whose “bewitching eyes” struck him profoundly, evoking newfound feelings of love. Faced only with the visage hidden behind a mask, the brief interaction leaves a lingering sense of loss and longing after the stranger departs without a goodbye. This chance encounter leads to unending questions and a search that extends into the shadows of memory, carried forward in the tune of a sorrowful song.


Symbolism of Quién será

Throughout “Quién será,” various symbols enhance the emotional depth of the lyrics. The “antifaz” or mask represents both the allure and the inherent mystery and unattainability of the love interest. This symbolism extends to the notion of searching “between the shadows” which suggests pursuing something elusive and intangible, reflecting the theme of lost or unrequited love. Additionally, the recurrent feelings of “nostalgia and sorrow” brought forth by the winds metaphorically embody the ongoing emotional turmoil and yearning for a past that cannot be reclaimed.


Quién será in historic Context

“Quién será” was introduced to the world in 1940, a time when Argentina was experiencing significant social and cultural shifts. Tango, an emblematic expression of Argentine identity, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political landscape of the period. During this era, tango lyrics often delved into themes of love, loss, and nostalgia, mirroring the sentiments of a society navigating through the complexities of modernization and change. This song, with its themes of ephemeral encounters and yearning for a lost love, resonates deeply within the emotional and cultural narratives of its time.
