Quiero dedicar esta canción con mucho amor y respeto
Más que una canción es una oración de amor que quiero dedicar
Como siempre, con el mismo amor, cariño y respeto
A todas las mamás que esta noche me han venido a visitar
Sobre todo para aquellas que estén un poquito más lejos de mí
Tú eres la tristeza de mis ojos
Que lloran en silencio por tu amor
El tiempo que he sufrido por tu adiós
Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento
Pues, siempre estoy pensando en el ayer
Prefiero estar dormida que despierto
De tanto que me duele que no estés
Como quisiera, ay
Que tú vivieras
Que tus ojitos jamás se hubieran
Cerrado nunca y estar mirándolos
Amor eterno
E inolvidable
Tarde o temprano yo voy a estar contigo
Para seguir, amándonos
Yo he sufrido mucho por tu ausencia
Desde ese día hasta hoy, no soy feliz
Y aunque tengo tranquila mi conciencia
Yo sé que pude haber yo hecho más por ti
Oscura soledad estoy viviendo yo
La misma soledad de tu sepulcro, mamá
Y es que tú eres, es que tú eres el amor de cual yo tengo
El más triste recuerdo de Acapulco
Pero como quisiera, ay
Que tú vivieras
Que tus ojitos jamás se hubieran
Cerrado nunca y estar mirándolos
Amor eterno
E inolvidable
Tarde o temprano estaré contigo
Para seguir, amándonos
Amor eterno
Eterno
Amor eterno
Eterno
Ojos que hayan derramado tantas lágrimas por penas
De dolor
De amor de tantas despedidas y despenas
Soledad, eso es todo lo que tengo ahora y tus recuerdos
Que hacen más triste la angustia de vivir pensando como siempre en ti
Ojos que te vieron tanto y que no han vuelto a verte hasta el sol de hoy
Tristes de tanto extrañarte
Y de tanto esperarte desde aquel adiós
Soledad, eso es todo lo que tengo ahora, y eso es todo lo que tengo ahora y tus recuerdos
Que hacen más triste la angustia de vivir pensando como siempre, para siempre y por siempre en ti
Amor eterno
Eterno

Eterno amor
