Rozando La Eternidad

Duncan Dhu's song 'Rozando La Eternidad' is a poignant exploration of departure, longing, and the passage of time. The lyrics convey a sense of imminent separation, with the protagonist urging their companion not to cry or speak further, as the emotional weight of the moment is already overwhelming. The repeated 'no... no digas más, no digas más' (no... don't say more, don't say more) and 'no... no llores más, no llores más' (no... don't cry more, don't cry more) emphasize the finality and inevitability of the farewell. This creates a somber atmosphere, highlighting the pain of leaving someone behind.

The imagery of 'las botas en el suelo me esperan ya' (the boots on the ground are waiting for me) and 'seis horas para amanecer' (six hours until dawn) suggests a journey that must be undertaken, possibly hinting at a soldier or traveler preparing for departure. The protagonist's internal struggle is evident as they try to suppress their emotions and face the reality of leaving, as seen in 'tratando de no pensar, tragándome la verdad' (trying not to think, swallowing the truth). This internal conflict adds depth to the narrative, portraying the complexity of human emotions in moments of separation.

The chorus, 'rozando la eternidad en vuelos a ras del mar' (brushing against eternity in flights skimming the sea), evokes a sense of timelessness and the vastness of the journey ahead. The mention of 'abejas cerca de aquí están tirando a matar' (bees nearby are shooting to kill) introduces a metaphor for the dangers and challenges that lie ahead, further emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Duncan Dhu's melancholic melody and poetic lyrics combine to create a powerful reflection on the themes of departure, love, and the passage of time, resonating deeply with listeners.
