In 1934, French Argentine composer Carlos Gardel along with lyricist Alfredo Le Pera created the tango ‘Volver.’ It is considered one of the most famous and beautiful tangos as it has become a symbol of nostalgia for all the Argentines forced to migrate from their homeland. This tango was recorded on March 19, 1935 for the film ‘El Dia Que Me Quieras (The Day you Love Me),’ which was also written by Le Pera and starred Gardel.Â
In ‘Volver,’ Gardel sings about the pain and nostalgia of exile. This song symbolizes the fleetingness of life and the destiny of a man who is heading down the path of no return.
Only three months after the recording, on June 24, Gardel and Le Pera perished in a plane crash in Medellin, Colombia.Â
This tango has been covered by multiple singers, including Julio Iglesias and Il Divo.
