Letra del Tango Volverás (2)

Volverás…
Me parece oír tu voz,
Implorándome,
Igual que ayer
Cuando me alejé.
Volverás…
Ya sin fe
Pregunto yo,
Y la realidad,
Con impiedad
Contesta por vos.

Todo en el sueño
De aquel tiempo ido,
Muere en la sombra
Fatal de tu olvido.
No volverás…
Y en mi pobre corazón,
De tu amor no quedará
Más que la ilusión.

English lyrics of the Tango "Volverás (2)"

You’ll return…
I seem to hear your voice,
Imploring me,
Just like yesterday
When I walked away.
You’ll return…
Now without faith
I ask,
And reality,
With ruthlessness,
Answers for you.

Everything in the dream
Of that bygone time,
Dies in the fatal shadow
Of your forgetting.
You won’t come back…
And in my poor heart,
Of your love there will remain
Nothing but the illusion.

Story behind the Tango Volverás (2)

The lyrics of “Volverás (2)” resonate with a deep sense of longing and heartbreak, which is common in many traditional tango lyrics. The speaker appears to be addressing a lost lover, reminiscing about the past and grappling with the pain of separation. The repeated use of “Volverás” which translates to “You will return” in English, suggests a yearning hope or perhaps a delusion that their love might rekindle. However, the sorrowful tone of the lyrics, coupled with phrases like “without faith, I ask myself” and the harsh reality speaking back with “cruelty”, indicate a recognition of the permanence of their parting.

Symbolism of Volverás (2)

The tango uses both direct expression and symbolic language to depict the emotional state of the narrator. The “dream of that gone time” symbolizes nostalgia and the idealized memories of a past love, which “dies in the fatal shadow of your forgetfulness,” suggesting that these memories are being obliterated by the indifference or neglect of the loved one. The use of “shadow” and “fatal” denote something dark and final, enhancing the sense of irreversible loss and despair. The speaker’s heart retains only “the illusion” of love, a poignant note on the enduring pain and the futility of their hope.

Volverás (2) in historic Context

Recorded in 1939, “Volverás (2)” was created during a period of significant political and social shifts in Argentina and the world at large. This era was marked by the aftermath of the Infamous Decade in Argentina, characterized by economic instability and corruption, which might have intensified the themes of disillusionment and pensive sadness in tango lyrics. Additionally, the world was on the brink of World War II, a factor that likely contributed to a general atmosphere of uncertainty and melancholy which is echoed in the song’s contemplative and somber mood.
