Nadie Es Eterno Lyrics in English by Darío Gómez
Resignarás comes from the verb resignarse, meaning to resign oneself or to come to terms with something. It's a poignant word that captures a deep emotional process.
In this song about mortality and loss, it speaks to the inevitable acceptance of death. The lyrics state, "Después te resignarás / Cuando ya no me vuelvas a ver" (Afterwards you will resign yourself / When you no longer see me again), highlighting the difficult but necessary journey of accepting the absence of a loved one.
Darío Gómez's "Nadie Es Eterno" is a powerful and direct song about the inevitability of death and the importance of living in the present. It's a blunt reminder that "Nadie es eterno en el mundo" [Nobody is eternal in the world], not even those with a heart full of feeling and love. The lyrics question what we truly take with us when we go, pointing out that "con el tiempo no queda Ni la tumba, ni la cruz" [with time, neither the tomb nor the cross remains].
This song isn't about being sad, though. It's more about acceptance. When the time comes for farewells, Darío tells us not to cry because "Nadie vuelve del sueño profundo" [Nobody returns from the deep sleep]. He acknowledges the pain of loss, saying "Sufrirás, llorarás Mientras te acostumbres a perder" [You will suffer, you will cry While you get used to losing], but ultimately, we'll find resignation. It's a call to enjoy life and help those who are still here: "No lloren por el que muere... Velen por los que se quejen Si los pueden ayudar" [Don't cry for the one who dies... Watch over those who complain If you can help them]. It's a beautiful, honest take on mortality, urging us to live fully and with compassion.
