The music was originally written as an instrumental tango for Jacques Deval`s play Marie Galante.
Later, the French poet Roger Fernet wrote lyrics to the melody, turning it into a full-fledged song. A version for voice and piano was published in 1946.
Yukali is a fictional island, a symbol of an impossible dream, a `land of desires` where happiness and love reign.
