Eternamente
La Costumbre Lyrics

The song "Eternamente" by La Costumbre is a powerful ballad about the struggle to let go of an unrequited love. The singer sings about their inability to accept that the person they love is no longer a part of their life. The opening line, "No me puedo acostumbrar a desterrarte de mi alma" (I can't get used to banishing you from my soul) sets the tone for the rest of the song. Despite their fear of forgetting the person's scent and gaze, the singer admits that missing them is better than never having loved them at all. They express their love as eternal and unchanging, hoping that one day the person they love will return, but acknowledging the possibility that they may move on to someone else in the future.

The chorus, "Eternamente te amare" (I will love you eternally), serves as the song's emotional center. The singer repeats this phrase multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the depth and longevity of their feelings. The line "como el sol que alumbra el dia" (like the sun that illuminates the day) creates a vivid image of how important this person is to them, comparing their love to the bright, constant light of the sun.

The final verse acknowledges that the person they love may never return, but that they will always cherish their memory. "Y a pesar de que te has ido siempre viviras en mi" (And even though you have gone, you will always live on in me) conveys a sense of sadness, but also acceptance and gratitude for the time they were able to spend together. Overall, "Eternamente" is a moving tribute to the power of love and the depth of human emotion.
