"Sus ojos se cerraron" is a tango composed by Carlos Gardel, one of the most famous and influential tango singers and composers of all time. The song was composed in 1934, and it premiered in the same year. It is a slow, melancholic tango that tells the story of a man who has lost his love and is haunted by her memory. The song is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement is slow and mournful, with a simple melody that is repeated throughout the song. The second movement is more upbeat, with a faster tempo and a more complex melody. The third movement returns to the slow, mournful melody of the first movement, bringing the song to a somber conclusion. The lyrics of "Sus ojos se cerraron" are a testament to Gardel's skill as a songwriter. They are simple and direct, yet powerful and evocative. The song tells the story of a man who has lost his love and is haunted by her memory. He sees her everywhere he goes, in the streets, in the faces of strangers, and in his dreams. He longs to be with her again, but knows that it is impossible. The song is a classic example of the tango genre, with its melancholic melody and evocative lyrics. It is a testament to Gardel's skill as a composer and songwriter, and to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest tango artists of all time.
