English lyrics by Karen

Morris, Toronto, Canada



This song is more of a stright forward vallenato song with the blend of forging instruments, such as the steel string guitar, a cuban "tres" Cuban "clave", and a snare drum. "Lejos De Ti" talks about being apart from the person you love and all the feelings that arise from your loneliness. This song says " with all the love from my soul I wait for you next year and I wish to tell you with my guitar, all my feelings for you. I love you, I'm always dreaming of you, and without your love I'm dying.... but I'll keep waiting for you".



Tengo las cuerdans de mi guitarra

I have the stings of my guitar



Tengo la noche y tengo mi voz

I have the night and I have my voice



Para entregarte con toda el alma

With which to deliver to you with all my soul



Las dulces notas de mi canci?

The sweetness of my song.



Son las tretezas y la nostalgia

My song is sadness and nostalgia,



Las amargarte del coraz?

And the bitterness of the heart.



Son tus recuerdos en la distancia

They are the memories of you at a distance



Los que me llenande inspiraci?

That fill me with inspiration.

CORO:



Con todo el amor del alma

With all the love of my soul



Te espero en el a? nuevo

I wait for you in the new year.



Y quiero con mi guitarra

And I want to tell you with my guitar that



Decirte lo que yo siento

Que siempre te estoy queriendo

I want to tell you that I am always wanting you



Que siempre te estoy so?ndo

And am always dreaming of you.



Sin ti yo me estoy muriendo

Without you I am dying.



Pero te sigo esperando

But, still, I am waiting for you.

Tengo la brisa por mi ventana

The breeze that flows through my window



Que me acaricia como tu voz

Caresses me like the tenderness of your voice,



Tengo gravadas dentro del alma

Imprinted on my soul are the memories of



Las dulces huellas de tu pasi?

Your tender and sincere passion.



Voy sumergiendome en la nostalgia

I get lost in the nostalgia



Cuando en las noches yo pienso en ti

When in the nights I think of you.



Hay una lagrima que se escapa

A sadness fills my eyes and I cry,



Porque te siento lejos de m???

Es este canto que lleva el viento

La voz que calma por verte ya
