Para Siempre
Francisca y Los Exploradores feat. Julieta Venegas Lyrics

The song "Para Siempre" by Francisca y Los Exploradores feat. Julieta Venegas is a powerful expression of the longing for something eternal amidst the anxiety and uncertainty of modern urban life. The opening lines, "Quisiera que esto dure para siempre / Asi tanto como una eternidad" (I wish this could last forever / As long as eternity) set the tone for the song's central theme of yearning for permanence in a world where everything seems to be constantly changing and fleeting.

The singer, who identifies as "una rata de ciudad" (a city rat), laments her lack of religion and the persistent anxiety that plagues her. However, she finds solace in the idea of looking through the keyhole into the private world of another, as a way of escaping the mundane reality of her own life. This desire for connection and intimacy with another person is expressed in the line "Quiero mirar por el ojo de tu cerradura / No seas pura, esto te cura", which roughly translates to "I want to look through your keyhole / Don't be pure, this helps you heal".

The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the singer knows what she wants and will not settle for less, stating "Si contigo no se puede / Mejor que no me enredes / ¿Qué quieres de mí? / Ya lo aprendí" (If we can't make it work / It's better not to get tangled up / What do you want from me? / I already learned this before). The song closes with a repetition of the line "Desde lejos no me ves" (You can't see me from afar), suggesting that the singer feels invisible to the world around her, but is searching for a deeper connection that will prove her existence.
