Enanitos Verdes Eterna Soledad meaning and lyrics English explained

Eterna Soledad – “Eternal Loneliness” is a song by the Argentine band Enanitos Verdes. The song was released in 1996 and it is among the most popular song by the band thanks to its recomforting lyrics. Enanitos Verdes is one of the most influential bands in Latin America and their music inspired other Hispanic singers to try making their music.

Eterna Soledad is a song about difficulties in life and how sometimes everything seems to be over but isn’t. The song lyrics are comforting using a difficult theme as it is to feel defeated all the time, lyrics explain that sometimes loneliness won’t let you sleep at night, and maybe you feel like the train has already left for you but in reality, when you have nothing to lose is when you can win more and you should risk and get out of your conform zone. The message of the song is to get up and keep going until you win even if you fall again after standing up.

Eterna Soledad is an easy song, it wasn’t designed to be difficult as the message is to make people understand that their life is valuable even in the darkest moments. The lyrics don’t use difficult words or verbs and the singing is slow-paced until the end of the song when it fastens a little. Eterna Soledad by Enanitos Verdes is a great song for those learning Spanish that also want to know the most classic song of all time.
