Nuestro Juramento Lyrics in English by Charlie Zaa, Leslie Grace
Juramento translates to "oath" or "vow." It's a strong, formal word that carries significant weight and commitment, making it stand out from everyday vocabulary.
In "Nuestro Juramento," the word is central to the song's theme of eternal love and devotion. The lovers have "jurado amarnos hasta la muerte" (sworn to love each other until death), and even beyond, emphasizing the profound and unbreakable promise they've made to each other.
"Nuestro Juramento" is a classic bolero about a promise made between two lovers: whoever dies first will keep loving the other from beyond death.
The singer can't bear to see his partner sad, and to ease her fear of losing him, he makes a vow. If she dies first, he'll let the world know how much he loved her, writing their story in his own blood. If he dies first, he asks her to do the same for him. It's a dramatic, old-fashioned way of saying that a love this strong doesn't end with death.
Written by Puerto Rican songwriter Benito de Jesús in the 1940s, the song has become one of the most recorded boleros in Latin music, covered by dozens of artists across generations. This version pairs Charlie Zaa's rich, romantic voice with Leslie Grace in a live duet performance.
