Mi Traga Eterna Lyrics in English by Peter Manjarrés
Traga is a colloquial and very Colombian term that means 'crush' or 'infatuation'. It's a unique and endearing way to describe an intense, often overwhelming, romantic attraction.
In "Mi Traga Eterna," the singer uses it to describe a love interest who is his "eternal crush"—someone he can't get over, even when he tries. It perfectly captures the feeling of being completely captivated by someone, despite the emotional rollercoaster they might cause.
Have you ever had that one person you just can't quit, no matter how hard you try? That's exactly what Peter Manjarrés is singing about in "Mi Traga Eterna"! He's completely hooked on someone who, let's be honest, sounds a little bit like trouble. He says, "Siempre digo que contigo no / Y ese no, apenas me llama, se convierte en sí" [I always say no to you / And that no, as soon as you call me, turns into a yes]. It's a classic push-and-pull, where his heart just won't listen to his head.
He even jokes about needing a class to get over this person: "Voy a hacer un curso para olvidarte a ti / Porque si es por mí yo lo veo imposible" [I'm going to take a course to forget you / Because if it's up to me, I see it as impossible]. This song is all about that irresistible connection, that "mala hora" [bad time] that throws him off balance with just one call or a kiss. It's funny and relatable, because who hasn't felt that kind of crazy, undeniable pull?
