Tu voz is a Tango written by Ricardo Duggan and composed by Juan Antonio Migliore.
Through Ricardo Duggan’s poignant lyrics in “Tu voz,” the tango conveys a somber narrative of love and separation. The imagery of watching a loved one depart without shedding tears, yet internally abhorring the surge of emotions points to a deep personal conflict between showing strength and feeling vulnerable. The lyrics poetically capture the fear of solitude and the pain of possible eternal separation, suggesting a profound connection that is dreaded to be lost. “Tu voz” translates to “Your Voice” in English, signifying the lingering presence of the loved one through the echo of their voice, which remains as a painful, yet beautiful memory.
The symbolism in “Tu voz” heavily revolves around the motif of voice as a remnant of love and intimacy. This voice brings light (“ensoñación”) to a life that’s grown dim (“sin luz”), emphasizing how memories, represented by the loved one’s voice, can illuminate even the darkest times. Here, the voice symbolizes not just sound, but the essence of the relationship and the emotional depth that continues to live on. Duggan’s choice of the words like “abominando la emoción” and “conjungado el verbo amar” (conjugating the verb to love) poetically express internal struggles and the complex layers of human emotions in relationships.
“Tu voz” was created during the year 1944, a period that was still heavily affected by the global ramifications of World War II even though distant from the primary conflicts, in Argentina. This era was marked by heightened emotions and a general sense of uncertainty and loss, which is vividly captured in the tango’s themes of separation and the fear of never seeing a loved one again. The historical backdrop adds a layer of universal tragedy and romantic melancholy, connecting personal loss to broader themes of separation and longing experienced during wartime.
Ricardo Duggan was a lyricist known for his emotive and evocative contributions to the tango genre, deeply resonating with the Argentine cultural identity.
