Letra del Tango Volver a querer

Cierro los ojos, para no acordarme

Y en el nocturno, vuela mi imaginación,

Busco el bullicio, para así olvidarla

Y es una angustia la de mi corazón.

Solo en el mundo, con la fe perdida

Mi vida marcha, bajo el sol de otra región,

Soy como el ave que perdió su nido

Soy el fantasma de un tiempo que pasó.



Nostalgia de otros días, recuerdos de ayer

Mis años venturosos ya no han de volver,

Mas todo fue un sueño, de rara visión

Amor de muchacho que el tiempo borró.

Recuerdo que en sus labios, dejé una ilusión

En ellos puse ardiente, mi beso de amor,

Y ahora que ya siento, venir la vejez

Quisiera como antes, volver a querer.



Pasan los años y al pasar me abruman

Y en mi silencio surge la recordación,

Cosas que fueron para mí un tesoro

Guardo en el cofre del pobre corazón.

Como los barcos sin timón ni guía

Así es la vida sola, sin orientación,

¡Ay!, Si encontrara lo que ayer fue mío

Sus ojos negros, para mi salvación.

English lyrics of the Tango "Volver a querer"

I close my eyes, so I won’t remember

In the night, my imagination flies,

I seek the bustle, to forget her

And an anguish fills my heart.

Alone in the world, with faith lost

My life moves on, under the sun of a different place,

I am like the bird that lost its nest

I am the ghost of a time that passed.

Nostalgia for other days, memories of yesterday

My joyous years will never return,

But all was a dream, of a strange vision

A boy’s love that time erased.

I remember on her lips, I left a dream

There, I laid a passionate kiss of love,

And now that I feel old age approaching

I wish to love again, as I did before.

Years go by and as they do, they overwhelm me

And in my silence, memories emerge,

Things that were treasures to me

I keep in the chest of my poor heart.

Like ships without rudder or guide

Such is life alone, without direction,

Ah, if I could find what was once mine

Her dark eyes, for my salvation.

Story behind the Tango Volver a querer

The lyrics of “Volver a querer” capture a profound sense of longing and nostalgia, articulated through imagery and emotive reflection. Nolo López’s lyricism transcends a mere expression of personal sadness, representing a universal feeling of age and loss. The speaker reflects on his past, filled with joy and love that he now yearns to experience once again. This tango explores the human experience of reflecting on youthful days from the perspective of an older individual whose life feels directionless and filled with regret over the love lost.



Symbolism of Volver a querer

Key phrases such as “Soy como el ave que perdió su nido” and “Como los barcos sin timón ni guía” portray powerful imagery of loss and aimlessness. The lost bird and rudderless ships symbolize a profound disorientation in life post a significant emotional departure. Similarly, “Guardo en el cofre del pobre corazón” evokes the image of treasured memories locked away in a heart described as impoverished, signaling deep emotional deprivation and loneliness.



Volver a querer in historic Context

Recorded in 1938 in Argentina, “Volver a querer” appears in a period of global unrest and the build-up to the Second World War. This backdrop may amplify the song’s themes of loss and searches for meaning amidst uncertainty. Argentina itself, during this time, was dealing with its political and economic fluctuations, which might resonate with the personal turbulence and reflections on happier days expressed in the lyrics.
