El día que me quieras (English: The day that you love me) is an Argentine tango with music by Carlos Gardel and lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera. It is considered one of the most popular songs of the 20th century and one of the best Latin songs of all time.[1] Originally featured in the 1935 film of the same name, sung by Gardel himself, it became a heavily recorded tango standard, even by artists outside of the realm of tango. It has subsequently been covered by various artists such as Luis Miguel, Julio Iglesias,[2] Michael Bolton[3] Roberto Carlos, Raphael de España and Shlomo Idov who translated the song to Hebrew. The song was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.[4] "El día que me quieras" was honored at the 2014 La Musa Awards as "La Canción de Todos los Tiempos" ("The Song of All Times").[5] It was among the tango standards selected by Plácido Domingo for his 1981 album Plácido Domingo Sings Tangos. In addition to Domingo, the song has been covered by operatic tenors including José Carreras,[6] Juan Diego Florez,[7] Christian Ketter,[8] and Alfredo Kraus.[9]
