Music: Raúl Kaplún. Lyrics: José María Suñé

We meet as we pass
You are the same, the same as yesterday,
There is anxiety in your eyes
And the same gray of dusk.

I know of a deathly sorrow,
That in your soul left
Terror of being able to love.
And it’s that deathly sorrow,
The cross of your love, you see
Wanted to separate us.
We meet as we pass by
and today like yesterday
I love you just the same.
Still the same as yesterday, your night
Shadow and pain of a memory,
I do not have a reproach,
If you are in hell
That could do more than me.
I always have that love
It was and is yours, all yours,
Your yesterday undone
It is so far,
It never comes back.
There is a past to forget
And a great pain, which must be killed,
There is another life to live
And there is this love which still lives in me.
We have a long way to go
That’s why my voice
It clings to your loneliness.
I seek in the shadow to frighten,
The voices of horror, which shake
Your nights of anxiety.
There is a life and a love,
That is in me
Same as yesterday.

“Solamente ella” by Lucio Demare y su Orquesta Típica with Horacio Quintana in vocals, 1944.

“Solamente ella” by Lucio Demare y su Orquesta Típica with Horacio Quintana in vocals, 1944.

Horacio Quintana, Argentine Tango singer.

Horacio Quintana

Singer and composer (May 30, 1920 – November 15, 2007)

During his tenure with the Lucio Demare orchestra, Horacio Quintana cut 14 recordings and demonstrated his hierarchy as a singer.

He displays the attractive color of his voice, and his excellent quality of interpretation, without exaggerations or unjustified over-dramatizations, with an easy-to-sing phrasing, that is to say, with all that is necessary to sing tango well.

On July 27, 1944 he succeeded in recording for the Odeon label and cut the tango “Solamente ella”.
