COBIÁN, Juan Carlos – Tango ‘Nostalgias’ (1935) – FIVE CELLOS

Other Identification:
“Nostalgias” is a famous Argentine tango song from 1935 with music by Juan Carlos Cobián and lyrics by Enrique Cadícamo, about a man consumed by heartbreak, longing for lost love, and the desire to forget his pain and the memories of a past relationship. Nostalgia refers to the “crazy laughter” and “fiery breath” of his lost love.

The song captures the essence of melancholy and longing, using metaphors of “drunk hearts” to drown out suffering and the memory of “dead roses” to represent the death of youth and love.
