Bobby Pulido
The Timeless Echo of Love in 'Permaneces En Mí'
Bobby Pulido's song 'Permaneces En Mí' delves into the complex relationship between time and love. The lyrics poignantly explore how time transforms moments into memories, futures into pasts, and sounds into silences. Despite these inevitable changes, the singer grapples with the enduring presence of a past love. This paradox of time's passage and the persistence of love forms the emotional core of the song.
The song's verses reflect a sense of betrayal by time. The singer questions why, despite the passage of time, his feelings for his lost love remain unchanged. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, 'Por qué entonces me traiciona / Y aunque pasa aún te amo,' which translate to 'Why then does it betray me / And even though it passes, I still love you.' This highlights the struggle between moving on and the lingering presence of a deep emotional connection.
Pulido's lyrics also evoke a sense of loss and longing. He reminisces about the tenderness in his lover's smile and the strength in their gaze, wondering where those moments have gone. The repeated plea, 'Dime cómo permaneces en mí,' or 'Tell me how you remain in me,' underscores the haunting nature of these memories. The song beautifully captures the bittersweet reality of how some loves remain etched in our hearts, defying the passage of time.
