Contigo en la distancia
Christina Aguilera & Luis Fonsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En que pueda apartarte de mí
El mundo parece distinto
Cuando no estás junto a mí
No hay bella melodía
En que no surjas tú
Ni yo quiero escucharla
Es que te has convertido
En parte de mi alma
Ya nada me consuela
Si no estás tú también, uh-uh-oh
Más allá de tus labios
Del sol y las estrellas, oh-uh-uh-uh
Contigo en la distancia
Amado mío, estoy
Es que te has convertido
En parte de mi alma
Ya nada me consuela
Si no estás tú también
Más allá de tus labios
Del sol y las estrellas
Contigo en la distancia
Amado mío, estoy
Contigo en la distancia
Amado mío
Estoy
Contigo
en la distancia is a song by Christina Aguilera about the intense longing and love for someone who is far away. The first verse starts with no moment in the day exists where the person can remove themselves from the main character's thoughts. Their world feels different when this person is not with them. Aguilera goes on to sing about how this person has become a part of their soul and nothing can console them if they are not there. The chorus expresses that even beyond the person's physical presence, their love reaches into the stars and the beyond. The song ends with a repetition of the title, expressing that the character feels closest to their lover even though they are far apart.
The lyrics of Contigo en la distancia are a beautiful expression of the depths of love and longing for someone. The song has a great localization in music too, being a bolero, a genre famous in Latin America famous for its dramas, and its romanticism. This song has a great deviation from pop music and showcases Christina Aguilera's talents outside the genre she is famous for. Some have argued that the amado mío part can refer to God. The song has been used in multiple Latin soap operas, further cementing the song in Latin America's popular culture. The song has been covered by multiple artists too, from the likes of Luis Miguel to Celia Cruz.
