LLORAR ETERNO
Pedrito Otiniano
The Eternal Cry of Unrequited Love
Pedrito Otiniano's song 'LLORAR ETERNO' delves deep into the sorrow and pain of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been deeply hurt by someone they loved. The recurring theme of the song is the anticipation of the return of the loved one, who will come back only after life has mistreated and defeated them. This return, however, is met with a resolute decision to not open the door, symbolizing a refusal to let the past pain resurface.
The song's chorus emphasizes the internal struggle and the silent suffering of the protagonist. The phrase 'Callado sufriré la angustia de esperar' (Silently I will suffer the anguish of waiting) highlights the deep emotional turmoil and the quiet endurance of the pain. The protagonist's decision to not let the loved one back in, even when they hear them cry, signifies a strong stance against reliving the hurt and a desire to protect oneself from further emotional damage.
Pedrito Otiniano, known for his poignant and heartfelt ballads, uses this song to explore themes of love, betrayal, and self-preservation. The melancholic tone and the repetitive nature of the lyrics reinforce the idea of an 'eternal cry,' a pain that lingers and never truly fades away. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the heartache of unrequited love and the difficult decision to move on, even when the heart still yearns for the past.
