Juan Gabriel - Amor Eterno = Eternal Love

The first time I heard this song I cried. I could feel the pain of someone so close passing away. Juan Gabriel wrote this song for his mother when she passed in 1974. Rocio Durcal;which is the voice you hear in the video below was able to make the song popular world wide. Her voice is so powerful and it transports you there, seeing the tears and sadness. Some people would call it sad music, I call it reflection music. And now at least you will know what they are saying. Video was nicely done. Thank you LuvHelica2Death if you ever see this. :-)

You are the sadness in my eyes
That cry in silence for your love
I see myself in the mirror and I see in my image 
The time that I have suffered since your passing
I force my thoughts to forget you
Because I’m always thinking about yesterday
I prefer to be asleep then awake
To forget all the pain of knowing you are not here

I wish, ayyyyy
That you were alive
That your little eyes never closed
That I was looking at them.
Eternal love
And unforgettable
Sooner or later I will be with you
To keep loving us

I have suffered so much in your absence
Since that day, I’m not happy
Even though my conscious is clear
I know I could’ve done more for you
Dark loneliness is the one that I’m living
The same loneliness of your sepulcher
You are the love in which I have
The saddest memories of Acapulco


I wish, ayyyyy
That you were alive
That your little eyes never closed
That I was looking at them.
Eternal love
And unforgettable
Sooner or later I will be with you
To keep loving us

Eternal love
Eternal, Eternal love

Juan Gabriel - Hasta Que Te Conoci = Until I Met You

This song will always be one of my life time favorites. Juan Gabriel from his album Pensamientos (Thoughts) released in 1986. He is a great song writer and singer. Plus you could just see a confidence in him and his mannerisms on stage were always fun to see. So much heartache can come from meeting just one person. Sometimes is just too late, like he says here. To all my Mexicans. Que Viva Mexico!!! :-)

I didn't know about sadness, or tears,
Or nothing that would make me cry
I knew about love, of tenderness,
Because since I was little,
That is what my mother taught me
That’s what mother taught me
That and many other things
I never suffered, I never cried,
I was happy, I lived very well

I lived something different, something beautiful,
Something devine, full of felicity
I knew of happiness, the beauty of life
But not of loneliness
But not of loneliness
Of those and many other things
I never suffered, I never cried,
I was very happy…I lived very well

Until I met you
I saw life with pain
I won’t lie, I was happy
Even with very little love
And too late did I understand
That I shouldn’t have loved you
Because now I think of you
More than yesterday, so much more

Until I met you
I saw life with pain
I won’t lie, I was happy
Even with very little love
And too late did I understand
That I shouldn't have loved you
Because now I think of you
More than yesterday, so much more

I never suffered, I never cried,
I was very happy…but I found you
I don’t want you to tell me
If it was worth it or not
To have met you
Because I don’t believe you
And you were so bad
Yes, really bad with me
That is why I don’t want to see you
I don’t ever want to see you

Go away
Go away
Go away

Marc Anthony - Vivir Mi Vida = Live My Life

The first time I heard this song it took me back to good old Salsa days. Marc Anthony always knows how to let that happy vibe come through. The sing along hooks, with drum beats, how can you not move?. This track speaks to me because everyone goes through hardship, heart breaks and things we thought we would never get through, but some how we did. This song is a celebration to that. Why keep suffering living in memories, in a past that we can not change. For what? It is what it is and we need to keep going and live our lives. Lalalalala


I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance
To live my life lalalalala
I’m going to laugh, I’m going to enjoy
To live my life lalalalala

I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance
To live my life lalalalala
I’m going to laugh, I’m going to enjoy
To live my life lalalalala

Sometimes the rain comes
to clean our wounds
Sometimes only one drop
Can  overcome the drought

And why cry? For what?
If pain hurts, we forget it
And why cry? For what?
If life it’s like that, we have to live it
Lalale

I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance
To live my life lalalalala
I’m going to laugh, I’m going to enjoy
To live my life lalalalala

Eeeso!

I’m going to live the moment
to understand the destiny
I’m going to listen to silence
To find my way

And why cry? For what?
If pain hurts, we forget it
And why cry? For what?
If life it’s like that, we have to live it
Lalale

I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance
To live my life lalalalala
I’m going to laugh, I’m going to enjoy
To live my life lalalalala

My people!
Take that!

I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance
Why cry? Why sufer?
Start to dream, to laugh
I’m going to laugh (ohoo!), I’m going to dance
Feel and dance and enjoy
That life is only one
I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance
Live, keep going
Always forward
Don’t look back
Esso!
My people
Life is only one haha

I’m going to laugh, I’m going to dance
To live my life lalalalala
I’m going to laugh, I’m going to enjoy

Live my life lalalalala
