Siempre En Mi Mente Lyrics in English by Pepe Aguilar, Miguel Bosé
Instante translates to "instant" or "moment." While not extremely rare, it's a more evocative and slightly less common word than its synonyms like "momento."
In "Siempre En Mi Mente," Pepe Aguilar uses instante to emphasize the continuous and pervasive nature of his thoughts. He sings, "Pienso en ti amor, a cada instante" (I think of you, my love, every instant), highlighting that his beloved is in his mind not just sometimes, but in every single fleeting moment. This choice of word adds a touch of poetic intensity to his declaration of enduring love.
Pepe Aguilar recorded this one as a duet with Miguel Bosé, and it plays like two men comparing notes on the same bad breakup. The hook says it plain: ‘Tu estas siempre en mi mente’ (You are always in my mind), no metaphor needed. He tries reasoning with the memory next: ‘Como quieres tu que te olvide si estas tu’ (How do you want me to forget you, if you are here), which admits the person hasn't actually left, not really.
By the middle he's given up trying to sound composed about it. ‘Dime trato de olvidarte y yo quiero olvidarte’ (Tell me, I try to forget you, and I want to forget you) repeats the wanting twice, like saying it again might finally make it true. It never does. The song just circles back to the same line it opened on, because that's the honest ending: he never gets her out of his head, he just says so one more time.
