Amor de siempre

“Amor de siempre” by Voces de Aysén is a heartfelt ballad that delves into the timeless nature of love and the enduring memories that accompany it. The song opens with the protagonist reminiscing alone at night, with a drink in hand, as the sweet memories of a past love flood back. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has left an indelible mark on the narrator's soul, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing. The mention of a song once whispered by the beloved adds a layer of intimacy and personal connection, highlighting the deep emotional bond shared between the two.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this love is not just a fleeting memory but a constant presence in the narrator's life. The phrase “Amor de siempre” (Eternal Love) serves as a recurring motif, emphasizing the undying nature of this affection. The lyrics describe the beloved as the “candil de mi existencia” (the light of my existence), underscoring the profound impact this person has had on the narrator's life. The imagery of a rainy afternoon and a sleeping city further enhances the sense of a cherished, almost dreamlike memory.

In the latter part of the song, the passage of time is acknowledged, yet the love remains as strong as ever. The couple is now older, their children have grown and left to seek their own paths, but their bond remains unbroken. The lyrics suggest a celebration of their enduring love, inviting the listener to join them in dancing, dreaming, and sharing a glass of wine. This final stanza encapsulates the essence of the song: a love that has weathered the storms of life and continues to shine brightly, filled with passion, tenderness, and an everlasting sweetness.
