I've been digging in a little deeper into Juanes lately in anticipation of his upcoming show in my area.

I've heard this song many times but never gave it much though until I heard what it meant in an interview.

It's about how death isn't the end of the relationship for those who you have lost, but just another test. I know this isn't really Christian thinking but I really like the poetry of the words and they touch me as I've lost all my family over the last few years. Here's my translation to give you an idea...


Para Ser Eternal
Cuánto diera por cambiarHow much I would give to change
Todo aquello que hice maleverything I did wrong
Cuánto diera por morir y volver a despertarHow much I would give to die and awake again
Cuánto diera yo en mi afán por hacerte regresarHow much I would give in my eagerness to make you return
Cuánto dieran estos ojos por volverte a ver. . .How much these eyes would give to see you again
No esta tu cuerpoYour body isn't here
Pero sí tu recuerdobut truly your memory
Si bajas del cieloIf you come down from heaven
Llévame a tu lado. . .Take me to your side. . . 
Solitario corazónLonely heart
Ya no es tiempo de llorarIt's not time to cry now
Lo pasado ya pasóThe past is past
Y lo hecho hecho estáand what’s done is done
Alguien tiene la razónSomeone is right
No se puede echar atrásOne can't go back
No se puede echar atrásOne can't go back
Cuándo está tan tarde. . . .When it's so late
No está tu cuerpoYour body isn't here
Pero sí tu recuerdobut truly your memory
si bajas del cieloIf you come down from heaven
Llévame a tu lado. . .Take me to your side. . . 
Amor de humo blancoLove of white smoke
Amor del quebrantoLove of brokenness
Si bájas del cieloIf you come down from heaven
Llévame a tu lado. . . .Take me to your side. . . 
Para empezar a crecer. . . .To begin to grow. . . . 
Para ser eterno, porque la distancia no es el fínTo be eternal, because the distance isn't the end
Para ser eterno, sólo es una prueba másTo be eternal, it's only another test
Para ser eterno, que tu recuerdo vivirá en miTo be eternal, let your memory live in me
Para ser eterno, por eso tú enséñame el caminoTo be eternal, that's why you must teach me the way
para ser eterno. . . .To be eternal. . . . 
En mis sueños puedo verI can see in my dreams
Que te acercas mas a miThat you're coming close to me
Y en lo inménso de tus ojos el destello de una luzand in the depth of your eyes the reflection of light
En tu auséncia la ilusiónIn your absence the anticipation
De que seas para míthat you would be for me
Y en el tiempo un pretexto para amarte más. . . .in time, a excuse to love you more. . . .
No está tu cuerpoYour body isn't here
Pero sí tu recuerdobut truly your memory
Si bájas del cielo Llévame a tu lado...If you come down from heaven take me to your side. . . 
Amor de humo blancoLove of white smoke
Amor del quebrantoLove of brokeness
Si bajas del cielo llévame a tu ladoIf you come down from heaven take me to your side
Si bajas del cielo llévame a tu ladoIf you come down from heaven take me to your side
Para empezar a crecer. . . .To begin to grow. . . . 
Para ser eterno, porque la distancia no es el fínTo be eternal, because the distance isn't the end
Para ser eterno, sólo es una prueba másTo be eternal, it's only another test
Para ser eterno,.que tu recuerdo vivirá en miTo be eternal, let your memory live in me
Para ser eterno,por eso tu enséñame el caminoTo be eternal, that's why you must teach me the way
Para ser eternoTe be eternal
.
.
Here's a real good acoustic version along with the studio version.
