Amor eterno [versión en Bellas Artes] [English translation]

I want to dedicate this song, with lots of love and respect. This, more than a song, is a prayer of love, that I want to dedicate, as always, with love, affection and respect, to all those moms that are here tonight.

But, most of all, to those moms who are a little farther away from me.

You're the sadness of my eyes

that cry silently for your love.

I look at the mirror and I can see in my face

the time I have suffered since your passing.

I force my thoughts to forget you

because I'm always thinking about the past.

I prefer to be asleep than awake,

because it hurts me so so much that you're no longer here.

How I wish

that you were alive,

that your little eyes would had never closed

so I can look at them.

Eternal love, unforgettable.

But sooner or later I'll be with you

so we can keep loving each other.

I have suffered a lot since you left.

Since that day, I'm no longer happy,

and even if my conscience is clear,

I know for sure, I know that I could have done a lot more for you.

A dark loneliness is the one I am living,

is the same loneliness from your sepulcher, mom,

because you're, you're the greatest love from which I got

the saddest memories of Acapulco.

How I wish

that you were alive,

that your little eyes would had never closed

so I can look at them.

Eternal love, unforgettable.

But sooner or later I'll be with you

so we can keep loving each other.

Eternal love. Eternal.

Eternal love. Eternal.

This eyes have shed so many tears of sorrow,

of pain, of love, of so many farewells and waits.

Loneliness, that's all I have now, and your memories,

which make sadder the anguish of living, because I always think about you.

This eyes once saw you so much, but they haven't seen you up to this day.

They're sad, of missing you so much, of waiting for you since we said goodbye.

Loneliness, that's all I have now, this is all I have, and your memories,

which make even sadder the anguish of living, because I will always, forever and ever, be thinking about you.

Eternal love. Eternal.

Eternal love. Eternal love.
