Dulzura distante
Fernando Cabrera Lyrics

In Fernando Cabrera's song "Dulzura distante," the lyrics tell a story of a relationship between the singer and a distant lover. The line "Tú siempre dando la nota, la señorita cantante" (You are always hitting the note, the singing lady) suggests that the lover is a singer, and the singer is in awe of their talent. The phrase "Batuta de tu mirada" (The conductor of your gaze) suggests that the lover's eyes are guiding the singer's actions and that the lover has a powerful presence in the singer's life.

The next verse is about the fleeting nature of life, as the line "Duró mi vida un instante" (My life lasted a moment) implies that life goes by quickly. The line "El cruce de los caminos y tu dulzura distante" (The crossing of paths and your distant sweetness) suggests that despite the short-lived nature of life, the singer still remembers and yearns for the distant lover's kindness and sweetness. The singer then reminisces about a time of struggle, where they were lost and confused, but still kept their singing voice strong. The verse ends with an acknowledgement that singers can feel the emotions of their audience, and that the audience's positive energy and encouragement can help a singer perform better.

The chorus repeats the idea of life being short and fleeting, with the lines "Voló, voló mi destino, duró mi vida un instante" (My fate flew away, my life lasted a moment) serving as a reminder that everything in life can be gone in an instant. However, the line "Y tu dulzura distante" (And your distant sweetness) shows that despite this, the singer still feels drawn to the distant lover and their kindness. The song ends with a repeated line of "Y tu dulzura distante," emphasizing the singer's longing for the sweetness of their distant lover.
