Y volvemos a querernos is a Tango written by Abel Aznar and composed by Luciano Leocata.
The title, “Y volvemos a querernos,” translates to “And we fall in love again,” capturing the essence of reconciliation and the renewal of affection. The lyrics poignantly depict a couple who, despite past pain and separation, find themselves revisiting old haunts and rekindling their love. Meeting at the crossroad described in the song symbolizes a pivotal moment of choice where they decide to leave past grievances behind and embrace their love anew.
this deeply charged emotional tango utilizes vivid imagery and symbols to accentuate the theme of love lost and regained. Prominent symbols include “la cruz de esta esquina” (the cross of this corner) representing a crossroads of decision and past, and “el humo azul que se llevaba el tren” (the blue smoke that the train took away), hinting at opportunities and emotions carried away by time but now reclaimed. These images serve not only as reminders of shared history but also as signposts guiding the protagonists towards reconciliation. Aznar’s emotive language through phrases like “los ojos llenos de sangre de tanto y tanto llorar” (eyes filled with blood from so much crying) underscores the depth of suffering and the profound relief of coming together again.
Recorded in 1953, a period marked by significant social and political changes in Argentina, this Tango reflects a narrative of emotional recovery and reunion. The historical backdrop may subtly mirror the personal reconciliations described in the song with a nation’s struggles during a tumultuous time. Additionally, mentioning familiar locales like “la esquina de siempre” (the usual corner) and “la luz del andén” (the platform light) imbues the song with a strong sense of place, grounding the emotional experiences in identifiable settings familiar to its Argentine audience.
Abel Aznar was an influential Argentine lyricist and poet known for his poignant and evocative tango lyrics.
