Contigo en la distancia
Paco de María Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En que pueda apartarme de ti
El mundo parece distinto
Cuando no estas junto a mi
No hay bella melodia
En que no surjas tu
Ni yo quiero escucharla
Es que te has convertido
En parte de mi alma
Ya nada me consuela
Si no estas tu tambien
Mas alla de tu labios
Del sol y las estrellas
Contigo a la distancia
Amada mia, estoy.
En parte de mi alma
Ya nada me consuela
Si no estas tu tambien
Mas alla de tu labios
Del sol y las estrellas
Contigo a la distancia
Amada mia, estoy
Contigo a la distancia amada mia, estoy.
In Paco de María's song Contigo En La Distancia, the lyrics express the intense longing and love felt by the singer for their beloved. The opening lines, "No existe un momento del dia/ En que pueda apartarme de ti" (There's not a moment of the day/ When I can be apart from you), reveal how intertwined the singer's life has become with their loved one. They cannot imagine being without them, and the world itself seems different without their presence.
The next lines, "No hay bella melodia/ En que no surjas tu/ Ni yo quiero escucharla/ Si no la escuchas tu" (There's no beautiful melody/ Where you don't appear/ And I don't want to hear it/ If you're not listening with me), further emphasize how the loved one has become a fundamental part of the singer's existence. Every aspect of their life is colored by the absence or presence of their beloved. The final lines, "Contigo a la distancia/ Amada mia, estoy" (With you in the distance/ My love, I am), reveal that even if physically separated, the singer feels connected to their loved one on a spiritual and emotional level.
