Another emotional verse:
Tú eres la tristeza de mis ojos
Que lloran en silencio por tu amor
Me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro
El tiempo que he sufrido por tu adiós
Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento
Pues, siempre estoy pensando en el ayer
Prefiero estar dormido que despierto
De tanto que me duele que no estés
Rough ranslation:
You are the sadness in my eyes
That cry in silence for your love
I look at the mirror and I see in my face
The time that I have suffered since your goodbye
I force my mind to forget you
Since I’m always thinking of yesterday
I prefer to be asleep than awake
As it feels too painful that you are gone
Small hurt-no-comfort headcanon I just thought of.
Bruce once accidentally stumbled upon Jason listening to Amor Eterno on Catherine Todd’s birthday. Jason was embarrassed to have been caught listening to such an emotional song, but Bruce reassured him it was perfectly okay and spent the day talking with Jason about Catherine.
Once, after Jason died, Bruce abruptly cut patrol short after overhearing someone playing Amor Eterno in their house.
Even now that Jason’s back, Bruce can’t hear the song without wanting to tear up and hide away from people to grieve alone.
Background below the cut
Background: Amor Eterno is a song written by Juan Gabriel (an icon) who wrote this song in honor of his mother, who had passed away.
One popular version of the song is sung by Rocío Dúrcal (also iconic). She is said to have sung the song in honor of her son, who had also passed away.
VERY rough translation of the chorus (to maintain the ideas rather than literal translation)
How I wish
That you were still living
That your dear eyes had never closed
And I was still looking at them
Eternal (and unforgettable) love
Sooner or later I’ll be with you
So that we can continue loving each other
Yeah, I still tear up every time I hear it but that doesn’t stop me from listening to it
