Amor Eterno

Allison's 'Amor Eterno' is a poignant ballad that delves deep into the themes of eternal love and the profound sorrow that accompanies the loss of a loved one. The song's lyrics are a heartfelt expression of grief, as the narrator mourns the absence of someone who was deeply cherished. The opening lines, 'Tu eres la tristeza de mis ojos / Que lloran en silencio por tu amor,' set the tone for the entire song, highlighting the silent tears and the overwhelming sadness that the narrator feels.

The song is rich with metaphors and vivid imagery that convey the depth of the narrator's pain. The mirror, for instance, reflects not just the physical appearance but also the emotional scars left by the loved one's departure. The line 'Prefiero estar dormido que despierto / De tanto que me duele que no estés' underscores the unbearable pain of living without the loved one, to the point where the narrator would rather escape into sleep than face the harsh reality of their absence.

Cultural references also play a significant role in 'Amor Eterno.' The mention of Acapulco, a place often associated with beauty and joy, contrasts sharply with the 'más triste recuerdo' (saddest memory) the narrator holds. This juxtaposition amplifies the sense of loss and longing. The recurring refrain, 'Como quisiera ahh! / Que tu vivieras,' is a desperate wish for the loved one's return, emphasizing the eternal nature of the narrator's love and the hope of being reunited in the afterlife. The song's title, 'Amor Eterno,' encapsulates this undying love, making it a timeless tribute to those we've lost but continue to love deeply.
