La Constante Lyrics in English by Bunbury
Cobijo translates to "shelter" or "refuge". It's a beautiful and somewhat poetic word that evokes a sense of protection and comfort, making it more evocative than a common synonym like "refugio".
In the song, Bunbury uses it to describe the solace and safety he found in his beloved: "Me diste cobijo bajo una palmera" (You gave me shelter under a palm tree). This imagery highlights the profound sense of security and care the partner provides, making it a memorable and meaningful word in the context of the lyrics.
Bunbury's "La Constante" is a beautiful declaration of unwavering love and commitment. It's like a love letter where he tells his chosen person that even if things go wrong, she will be his "constante" [constant]. He describes how he wandered "por el desierto hasta que te encontré" [through the desert until I found you], and she offered him shelter and drink, healing his wounds. It's a powerful image of finding solace and a safe haven in someone after a long journey.
What I love about this song is the idea of choosing someone freely, every single day. He sings, "Hoy te elijo a ti para estar en mi vida, te elijo cada día consciente y libremente" [Today I choose you to be in my life, I choose you every day consciously and freely]. It's not just about falling in love, but actively deciding to stay in love. He even calls their meeting the "mejor de todos los posibles accidentes del azar, opción infalible" [best of all possible accidents of chance, infallible option]. It's a really sweet and honest way to say that this love is the best thing that could have happened to him, and he's confident it will never be a problem.
