Será una noche is a Tango written by Manuel Ferradás Campos and composed by José Tinelli.
The tango “Será una noche” speaks to a deep yearning for a transformative night defined by the return of a beloved who has been absent. The lyrics express an unwavering belief in a future moment when past loves are rekindled and the loneliness and weariness of life are overcome by a reunion. This night of return is envisioned as a culmination of hope and dreams, where the joy of togetherness overshadows past pains and brings a renewed vigor to life.
The night, or “la noche,” stands as a powerful symbol in this tango, representing not just a time of day but a transformative event filled with light, joy, and passion. Phrases like “mi alma se vestirá con luz de estrellas” (my soul will dress itself with starlight) and “mi corazón será una flor bajo un rocío de amor” (my heart will be a flower beneath a dew of love) use celestial and natural imagery to amplify the sense of rejuvenation and beauty expected from the reunion. Such strong visual symbolism conveys that the anticipated night will be a pivot from darkness to light, from solitude to connection.
“Será una noche” was written in 1952, during a period in Argentine history marked by political and social transitions. This context might reflect the longing for stability and return to happier, more stable times, much like the personal hope for the return of a loved one in the lyrics. The music and words likely offered an emotional escape for listeners, a common theme in the arts used to cope with the complexities of daily life in Argentina during this period.
