During the El Paso memorials for the shooting victims, a mariachi played the Amor Eterno for the crowd. I remember seeing the face of a young musician that you see below playing and crying at the same time. Music can help us feel and heal.
Amor Eterno is a song that perfectly describes a deep love via the pain of loss. I thought I understood the lyrics to this song, but not really. Now, I feel the words deep within my core.
Eternal Love
You are the sadness in my eyes
That weep in silence for you love
I look at myself in the mirror and see my face
The time I’ve suffered because of your goodbye
I force my thought to forget you
Because I’m always thinking of yesterday
I’d rather be sleeping than awake
Because of how much it hurts that you are not here
How I wish, ay*, that you lived
That your little eyes never had closed
And to be looking at them
Love eternal and unforgettable
Sooner or later I will be with you
To continue loving each other
I have suffered so much due to your absence
Since that day up to today, I’m not happy
And even though tranquil is my conscience
I know that I could have done more for you
Dark solitude I am living,
The same solitude of your grave
You are the love of which I have
The saddest memory in Acapulco
How I wish, ay*, that you lived
That your little eyes never had closed
And to be looking at them
Love eternal and unforgettable
Sooner or later I will be with you
To continue loving each other
Amor Eterno
[Verso 1]
Tu eres la tristeza de mis ojos

Me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro
El tiempo que he sufrido por tu adi
