Eclipse Lyrics in English by PATY CANTU
Eclipsando is the gerund form of the verb eclipsar, meaning "to eclipse" or "to overshadow". It's a captivating word that directly relates to the song's title and central theme.
In the context of the song, Paty Cantú uses eclipsando el eclipse total (eclipsing the total eclipse) to convey a love so powerful that it surpasses even the most profound cosmic event. It suggests their union is so strong it can overshadow anything, making it a unique and memorable expression of deep connection.
Paty Cantú frames “Eclipse” as a goodbye that's meant to be temporary. The verses open mid-departure — “Es momento de partir” [It's time to leave] — and she treats the distance as a phase to get through rather than an ending, promising “Yo te esperaré hasta el fin, aquí” [I'll wait for you until the end, right here]. The chorus turns the title into the payoff: “Y en un eclipse eterno el universo será nuestro” [And in an eternal eclipse, the universe will be ours], borrowing the astronomy — two bodies lining up after time apart — to describe two people finding their way back to each other.
