Juramento de Amor

Sergio Umbria's 'Juramento de Amor' tells a poignant and tragic love story that transcends life and death. The song narrates the tale of two young lovers who, under the full moon, vow eternal love to each other. This promise includes a pact that if one of them dies first, the other would follow. This romantic yet somber commitment sets the stage for a narrative filled with love, defiance, and ultimately, tragedy.

As the couple grows older, their love only deepens, despite their parents' disapproval. They decide to marry in secret, showcasing their determination to be together against all odds. However, fate intervenes cruelly. One day, they fall victim to a robbery, and the young man is fatally shot while trying to protect his beloved. His death leaves the young woman in a state of profound grief, wandering like a sleepwalker, unable to detach herself from the memory of her lost love.

Three months after his death, the young woman succumbs to her sorrow and dies. The song poignantly describes how, on the night of her death, the full moon shines brighter than ever, symbolizing the fulfillment of their eternal love pact. The townspeople witness their spirits wandering joyfully, suggesting that their love continues beyond the grave. 'Juramento de Amor' is a hauntingly beautiful narrative that explores themes of undying love, the impact of fate, and the belief in love's power to transcend even death.
