Viaje Eterno

“Viaje Eterno” by La Séptima (Paraguay) is a poignant exploration of loss, longing, and the hope of eternal reunion. The song delves into the emotional turmoil of losing a loved one and the struggle to come to terms with their absence. The lyrics express a deep yearning to believe that life is not finite, and that there are still many experiences and adventures left to share. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, “Lo que no quiero creer es que así tenga que ser / Que esta vida no sea eterna,” which translate to “What I don't want to believe is that it has to be this way / That this life is not eternal.”

The song also touches on the profound impact the departed had on the narrator’s life. The lyrics, “Hace mucho que no estas, y no me logro acostumbrar / Al gran vacío que dejaste,” meaning “You’ve been gone for a long time, and I can’t get used to the great void you left,” highlight the enduring pain of their absence. Despite this, there is a sense of hope and spiritual connection, as the narrator believes that their loved one continues to accompany them from a different realm. This is evident in the lines, “Sé que debo avanzar, que es solo ausencia terrenal / Y que desde algún lugar tú me acompañas,” which translate to “I know I must move forward, that it’s only a physical absence / And that from somewhere you accompany me.”

The recurring plea, “Espérame, que voy junto a ti / Sea ahora o después, te alcanzare,” meaning “Wait for me, I’m coming with you / Whether now or later, I will catch up to you,” underscores the hope of an eternal reunion. The song beautifully captures the essence of love transcending physical boundaries and the belief in an everlasting journey together. La Séptima’s heartfelt delivery and the evocative lyrics make “Viaje Eterno” a touching tribute to enduring love and the eternal bond between souls.
