The video for Eternity is a sequel to The Road To Mandalay. Mixed with scenes from the first video are scenes of Robbie and his girlfriend lounging around their house, playing pool and walking along the beach and on the trampoline. These scenes are also intercut with scenes of Robbie and his girlfriend standing opposite each other, looking wistfully at each other. The end of the video shows Robbie giving his girlfriend a long parting kiss, then being handcuffed and led away by the police, who tracked him down from clues left at the scene of the robbery.
Eternity
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to, I will try
I'll sing this somber serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
Someone said the truth will out
I believe without a doubt, in you
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
Yesterday when you were walking
We talked about your mom and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
We sat and watched the sun go down
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
For eternity
I'll sing this somber serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
It's true
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I hope you'll find your freedom
For eternity
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I know you'll find your freedom
Eventually
For eternity
For eternity

Robbie Williams - Eternity
Eternidade
Feche seus olhos , você não os sente
Eles não necessitam vê-la chorar
Eu não posso prometer curá-la
Mas se você quiser eu vou tentar
Cantar essa serenata de verão
O passado já foi, nós fomos traídos
É verdade
Alguns puderam colocar a verdade para fora
Mas eu acredito sem dúvida
Em você
Você era meu sonho de verão
E você deu-me o que necessito
E eu espero que você encontre a liberdade
Para a eternidade, para a eternidade
Ontem quando nós estávamos andando
Você falou sobre sua mãe e seu pai
O que eles fazem para fazer você feliz
O que eles fazem para fazer você triste
Nós sentamos e prestamos atenção no pôr-do-sol
Escolhemos uma estrela antes que perdêssemos
A lua
A juventude é desperdiçada pelos jovens
Antes que você saiba ela veio e se foi, cedo demais
Você era meu sonho de verão
E você me deu o que eu preciso
E eu espero que você encontre a liberdade
Para a eternidade, para a eternidade
Eu canto essa serenata de verão
O passado se foi, fomos traídos
É verdade
A juventude é desperdiçada pelos jovens
Antes que você saiba ela veio e se foi
cedo demais, Você era meu sonho de verão
e você é uma verdadeira amiga
E espero que ache sua liberdade
para a eternidade
Você era meu sonho de verão
e você é uma verdadeira amiga
E sei que encontrará sua liberdade
Um dia
Para a eternidade, para a eternidade

Watching this after seeing his Netflix series. This song was definitely written about Geri Halliwell. This music is timeless, thank you Robbie ❤
@originalindiechick7999
Same! I think she definitely tipped off the press where they were though, it’s a very Geri move
@kezza9144
@@originalindiechick7999But Geri was just as famous and wealthy she didn't need to.
@allknowingoracle3277
@@kezza9144 agree why would she need to? She’d just had THREE consecutive number 1s by herself at the time of their summer of 2000 adventure. You only tip of the press if you need to. Geri was hot property then.
@GMServ1
Beautiful
@rafaelbpmelo
@@originalindiechick7999 Robbie said in the documentary that he judged it wrong at the time due to the emotional instability he had due to all the negative things that fame brought him. So why is this person with a fake profile still coming here to accuse Geri? Geri only did good for him and from the documentary you can see that it was his most genuine moment of happiness.
@reemqa1
I was 15 when this song came out in 2001, I was in love with it then and I am still in love with it now that I am 32. The only difference now, is that every time Robbie Williams says "Youth is wasted on the young, before you know it's come and gone too soon", it hits me real hard, because I just realized how the years went by so fast.
