Lejos De Tu Amor
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ya deje de verme nina
Que llamaras, y me invitaras hoy a cenar,
Luego a bailar bajo la luna
Pero mil de esos suenos no hacen realidad,
Un abismo en el que llego
Se que estoy muy lejos.
Que tu me has hecho tu princesa
Y otra vez, sentire me hago un mar,
Cubriendote ??? (por tras) de arena
Pero tanto que te pienso no te hara mirar
Hoy me veo tan perdida
Por estar tan lejos.
Coro:
Lejos de tu amor, lejos de tu corazon,
Lejos de tu amor y sin salida, mire
Lejos de tu amor, lejos de tu corazon,
Lejos de tu amor y sin salida, vuelve por favor
Imaginar, yo tan solo puedo imaginar,
Que ya deje de verme nina
Que llamaras, y me invitaras hoy a cenar,
Luego a bailar bajo la luna
Pero mil de esos suenos no hacen realidad,
Un abismo en el que llego
Se que estoy muy lejos.
Coro (repite)
In the song "Lejos De Tu Amor", Shakira expresses the pain of being away from the person she loves. She imagines a scenario where her lover calls her and invites her out to dinner and dancing under the moonlight, but these dreams do not become reality. She is aware of the distance between them, which makes her feel lost and hopeless. She wishes to be his princess again and feel the waves of the sea cover them with sand. However, the pain of longing is overwhelming, and she feels trapped and far away from him.
The lyrics are heartfelt and emotional, portraying the frustration caused by distance in relationships. Shakira's voice is melancholic, and the melody is slow and soft, highlighting the sadness of the lyrics. The repetition of the chorus reinforces a feeling of being stuck and without a solution, adding to the overall mood of the song.

Los inicios de los 90, eran tiempos de cambios ya la juventud buscaba darle mas realce a los sonidos modernos Shakira en sus inicios fue una de las que le cambio el color a la balada tradicioonal
