Eternidad translates to "eternity." It's a beautiful and profound word that expresses an endless duration of time.
In "Nenita," Manuel Medrano uses this word to convey the depth of his love and commitment, singing "Quiero estar contigo por toda la eternidad" (I want to be with you for all eternity). It highlights a powerful, lasting sentiment that goes beyond a fleeting romance.
"Nenita" is Manuel Medrano's pet-name love song, and it opens playful before it turns devotional. He starts with a small, physical ask — "Préstame tu boquita una vez más" ("Lend me your little mouth one more time") — then keeps circling back to tiny domestic details: putting sunscreen on her face, wanting to live in her belly button, being the one she calls for a hug or someone to hear her sing.
By the chorus the scale changes. "Mi alma gemela en todas las vidas" ("My soulmate in every lifetime") and "Quiero estar contigo por toda la eternidad" ("I want to be with you for all of eternity") turn the song from a crush into a vow, and the bridge pushes that vow past this life entirely: "Y los que no pueda te los voy a dar en mi otra vida" ("And the ones I can't, I'll give you in my next life"). It's a song about loving someone in the small stuff and the forever stuff at once.
