TRUE LOVE FOR ANOTHER COMES FROM SELF LOVE
As a teenager, I used to listen to Rocio's album over and over. Ah, how I spent many days singing along with her on other Juan Gabriel's songs. Juan Gabriel is an openly Mexican gay songwriter and singer who is well loved everywhere. Music is music and people dont care really.
After coming out, I learned so many jotos/as loved her. I wasnt the only one. Mention Rocio to latina lesbians and sale un swoon.
When I did a pilgrimage to Mexico and in San Juan de Los Lagos, Jalisco, we did a special mass and procession for our people. We all pitched in to pay for the church service and the conjunto band of teens to play music for us while we walked around the plaza. When we got to the steps of the church, Mrs.Aguallo, who had lost her husband a few years before, requested they sing "Amor Eterno". This was their song. This is my song for you, my lost one. May you find you way home soon.You are loved. Eres amor.
Tu eres la tristeza de mis ojos
que lloran en silencio por tu amor
me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro
el tiempo que he sufrido por tu adios
Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento
pues siempre estoy pensando en el ayer
prefiero estar dormida que despierta
de tanto que me duele que no estes
Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras
que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran
cerrado nunca y estar mirandolos
Amor eterno e inolvidable
tarde o temprano estare contigo
para seguir amandonos
Yo he sufrido tanto por tu ausencia
que desde ese dia hasta hoy no soy feliz
y aunque tengo tranquila mi conciencia
se que pude haber yo hecho mas por ti
Oscura soledad estoy viviendo
la misma soledad de tu sepulcro
tu eres el amor del cual yo tengo
el mas triste recuerdo de Acapulco
Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras
que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran
cerrado nunca y estar mirandolos
amor eterno e inolvidable
tarde o temprano estare contigo
para seguir amandonos
Amor eterno (amore eterno) eterno....
Eternal Love
You are the sadness in my eyes
silently crying for your love
I look in the mirror and see my face
the time I have suffered for your goodbye
Force myself to forget the thought
I'm always thinking about it yesterday
I'd rather be asleep than awake
it hurts so much that your are not here with me
Ahhh I'm wanting you to be alive
your eyes never have been
never be closed and watching
Eternal love and unforgettable
sooner or later I will be with you
to continue loving you again
I have suffered so much for your absence
that from that day till today I am not happy
and although I quiet my conscience
I know I could have done more for you
Dark living loneliness
the same solitude of your grave
you are the love of which I have
The saddest memory of Acapulco
Ahhh I'm wanting to be alive with you
your eyes never have been
never be closed and watching
eternal love and unforgettable
sooner or later I will be with you
to continue loving you
Eternal Love (amore eterno) eternal .
