Un día llegará is a Tango written by and composed by Carlos di Sarli.
The tango “Un día llegará,” composed by Carlos di Sarli, evokes a deep sense of longing and the inevitable passage of time. The lyrics convey a melancholic hope for an awaited love or a future moment that will bring fulfillment. The narrative unfolds with an almost dream-like quality, as the singer reflects on distant and elusive aspects of love, merging them with nature and time.
The lyrics of “Un día llegará” heavily rely on symbolism, enriching its emotional landscape. The recurring mention of natural elements like “el viento” (the wind), “la paloma” (the pigeon), and “las copas de los pinos” (the tops of the pines) signifies the interconnectedness of emotions with the environment. The “eco” (echo) and “misterio de los sueños” (mystery of dreams) highlight the ethereal and intangible nature of the awaited moment or love, suggesting something that is felt deeply but remains out of reach.
Key phrases such as “Un día llegará” (A day will come) and “La imagen de tu amor” (The image of your love) are repeated to underscore the anticipation of a transformative event or presence, entwined with the inevitability of fate. These images enhance the narrative that while love is profound, it often remains distant or unseen, just like the reflections and images in “mi cristal” (my glass).
Written in 1943, “Un día llegará” captures the zeitgeist of Buenos Aires amidst the tensions of World War II and the cultural renaissance of tango as a profound expression of everyday emotions. Argentina was experiencing significant political and social changes, and tango reflected both the global uncertainties and personal introspections of the era. Through its wistful tones and reflective lyrics, the tango speaks to a universal longing, shaped by the beauty and impermanence of the moment.
Carlos di Sarli was an influential Argentine tango composer, conductor, and pianist known for his elegant and refined style. His works are celebrated for their rich orchestration and emotive depth, contributing significantly to the tango’s golden age.
