Infinito

Originally performed by JR, "Infinito" serves as the central narrative of the story's album, depicting a man's inner conflict as he contemplates revealing his true feelings to the woman he loves, portrayed by the saxophone family. The woodwinds provide a somber tone to the song, capturing the ongoing and pervasive worry of rejection. The strings depict the ebb and flow of his emotions, reminiscent of tides, with their pizzicato passages mimicking his heartbeat. The brass adds a dark richness to the song, playing intermittently to highlight key passages.

The song expresses the deep feelings for his partner, comparing their love to something infinite or boundless. He faces a profound dilemma: remain in the safety of his current situation or take the risk of exposing his heart and possibly beginning the journey of their romantic relationship or be rejected. The fear of rejection and the pain it could bring weigh heavily on him; memories of past heartache intensifying his apprehension. As he grapples with these tumultuous emotions, the crescendo of his feelings ultimately fades to the rhythmic sound of his own heartbeat. In the quiet conclusion of the outro, he makes his decision, looking directly into her eyes and uttering, "How bittersweet a life without you.”

Original Lyrics

Verse 1

Time is not my friend, nothing is promised but the end

And I hope I ain't waste time fussing and fighting, about you truly being mine

How bittersweet a life without you, at least I got a piece of your heart to hold to

Although time is not my friend

Verse 2

Prefiero haber amado y perdido, que nunca haber amado en absoluto

Aunque no se como será el camino, contigo voy hasta el fin del mundo

Que peligro sentí yo al besarte, de una vez yo sentí que me enamoraste

Sea un minuto o cien años, quiero pasar contigo mi tiempo, no

Ay, como tu no hay ninguna

Chorus 1

//Me enamoré y no me arrepiento, si algún día ya no te tengo

Porque un minuto contigo, vale más que un infinito

Cada segundo corazón, vale más que un infinito, sin tu amor//

Verse 3

Y si un día decides escaparte, te prometo que no voy a buscarte

Porque aprendí que el corazón, no puede borrar lo que ya grabo, y es tu amor

Ay, como tu no hay ninguna

Chorus 2

//Me enamoré y no me arrepiento, si algún día ya no te tengo

Porque un minuto contigo, vale más que un infinito

Cada segundo corazón, vale más que un infinito, sin tu amor//

Outro

How bittersweet a life without you

At least I a got piece of your heart to hold on to

Time is not my friend,

Nothing's promised but the end

How bittersweet a life without you

Translated Lyrics

Verse 1

El tiempo no es mi amigo, nada está prometido salvo el final

Y espero que no pierda el tiempo quejándome y luchando, sobre que realmente seas mía

Qué agridulce una vida sin ti, al menos tengo un pedazo de tu corazón al que aferrarme

Aunque el tiempo no es mi amigo

Verse 2

I would rather have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all

Although I don't know what the road will be like, I'll go with you to the end of the world

What danger I felt when I kissed you, at once I felt that you made me fall in love

Whether it's one minute or one hundred years, I want to spend my time with you, no

Oh, there is no one like you

Chorus 1

//I fell in love and I don't regret it, if someday I don't have you any more Because a minute with you is worth more than infinity

Every second my dear, is worth more than an infinity, without your love//

Verse 3

And if one day you decide to run away, I promise I won't look for you

Because I learned that the heart cannot erase what it has already recorded

And that is your love
