Letra del Tango Vendrás alguna vez

Si supieras que estoy solo
entre tanta y tanta gente,
si supieras que estoy triste
mientras ríen locamente;
tengo todo y me parece
que sin vos no tengo nada…
y en la noche atormentada de mi amor,
te pregunta temblando mi voz.

Vendrás alguna vez… decime.
Vendrás por el camino de mi soledad.
Ya no me importa lo que dirá la gente
ya ves, humildemente te pido que volvás.

Vendrás alguna vez… mentime.
Mentime si es que nunca… nunca volverás.
Porque prefiero vivir de esa mentira,
que andar tras de la muerte sabiendo la verdad.

Tu pasado me persigue,
tan tenaz como la sombra,
y en la noche solitaria
oigo al viento que te nombra.

Yo te llamo en mi amargura
aunque nadie me conteste,
y es inútil que proteste, mi rencor
es más fuerte que todo mi amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Vendrás alguna vez"

If you knew I’m alone
among so many people,
if you knew that I am sad
while they laugh wildly;
I have everything and it seems
that without you I have nothing…
and in the tormented night of my love,
my voice tremblingly asks you.

Will you ever come… tell me.
Will you come by the path of my loneliness?
I no longer care what people will say
you see, humbly I ask you to come back.

Will you ever come… lie to me.
Lie to me if you will never… never return.
Because I prefer to live off that lie,
than to chase after death knowing the truth.

Your past haunts me,
as persistent as a shadow,
and on the lonely night
I hear the wind call your name.

I call you in my bitterness
though no one answers,
and it’s useless to protest, my resentment
is stronger than all my love.

Story behind the Tango Vendrás alguna vez

The tango “Vendrás alguna vez,” soulfully penned by Luis César Amadori, explores the depths of longing and solitude amidst a facade of outward joy. The protagonist speaks of being alone even in the midst of crowds, expressing an inner sadness while others around them laugh carelessly. This contrast highlights a profound personal isolation and yearning for a lost love, whose absence renders all other accomplishments and possessions meaningless. The recurring and desperate plea, “Vendrás alguna vez… decime,” which translates to “Will you come sometime… tell me,” underscores the protagonist’s hope and desperation for the return of their beloved.



Symbolism of Vendrás alguna vez

Amadori uses vivid symbolism to enhance the emotional gravity of the lyrics. The line “Tu pasado me persigue, tan tenaz como la sombra” metaphorically equates the past to a persistent shadow that haunts the protagonist. This dark imagery vividly illustrates how memories and former experiences refuse to leave the present, overshadowing the protagonist’s current existence. Additionally, the evocation of a lonely night, with the wind whispering the name of the lost love, creates a haunting atmosphere of longing and futility. This setting symbolizes the relentless and painful hope that lingers despite the seeming hopelessness of their reunion.



Vendrás alguna vez in historic Context

“Vendrás alguna vez” was composed in 1938, a period of significant political and cultural turbulence in Argentina. The lyrics’ themes of loneliness, nostalgia, and emotional torment resonate with the broader societal feelings of uncertainty and transformation during that era. The song, through its portrayal of intense personal emotions, could be seen mirroring the collective sentiments of an Argentine society grappling with rapid modernization and political changes. This poignant reflection of individual pain within the societal shifts creates a resonant work that deeply speaks to its audience, transcending personal experience to echo a more widespread existential angst.
