Many believe that this song was written by Juan Gabriel for his mother, Victoria Valadez Rojas, who died in 1974 while he was on tour, according to TVNotas.

However, there is another version that reveals the true origin of this masterpiece created in the 1970s and published 10 years later in the interpretation of Rocío Durcal.

Who did Juan Gabriel write “Eternal Love” for?

According to his former manager Joaquín Muñoz, Juan Gabriel composed “Eternal Love” for a young man named Marco, with whom he was in a romantic relationship, Informador reports.

Muñoz stated that Juan Gabriel fell deeply in love with Marco, but that their romance ended tragically when he died suddenly while the singer was in Acapulco.

“He was in love like everyone else, he fell in love with Marco, he’s the one for whom he made the song ‘Eternal Love,'” Muñoz told the Mexican show “With Permission,” adding that he “met the guy in the City of Mexico , in a very brave neighborhood with very brave people, called Tepito.”

This devastating loss inspired Juan Gabriel to write one of the most moving and universal songs of his career.

One of the times when the artist publicly performed “Eternal Love” was in 1990 at the Palace of Fine Arts accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra.

Before singing, Juan Gabriel dedicated the song to all the mothers present. Furthermore, at the end of one of the stanzas, he added the word “mama”, which made many think that it was a dedication to his mother.

However, this dedication may have been a way to hide or disguise the true feeling that gave birth to the poem.

Another story about the origin of the song

On the other hand, Baby Richard, a former wrestler, told another story about the origin of the famous theme.

According to the words of the former wrestler, reported by Informador, the song has a tragic origin. Richard revealed that Juan Gabriel was inspired by two of his friends who were a couple and lived a story of love and pain. One of them died of cancer that was not detected in time, and the other was left heartbroken.

“Eternal Love” is a song that has transcended time and touched the hearts of millions of people who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Its lyrics and melody express pain and hope for a reunion with that love that is never forgotten. (AND)
