nido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lejos nos trajo el viento,
intruso olor a sal.
Pesa la distancia
en cada despertar.
Tantos los kilómetros,
Hay paz en la memoria
y refugio en recordar.
Con mi canción, nunca estaré lejos.
Soy su canción, aunque esté tan lejos. (bis)
Soy su canción.
Lejos del adobe,
lejos del trigal.
Oigo las dulzainas,
veo en las espigas nuestro mar.
Hoy me siento cerca.
Vuelve a ser hondo el respirar.
Fuerte es la llamada,
fiel tranquilidad.
Con mi canción, nunca estaré lejos.
Soy su canción, aunque esté tan lejos. (bis)
Soy su canción.
(de las “Seguidillas del laurel”)
Que no haga arrugas,
Préndete ese pañuelo
En laurel, clavel y rosa
Préndete ese pañuelo
(de “Bailes a lo pesao”)
Allá va la blanca flor
Entre blancos algodones
Dicen que tiene la fama
De robar los corazones

They describe feeling close to home despite the distance, and how the natural beauty of the land brings a sense of calm and strength.
Overall, "Lejos" is a powerful and emotional tribute to the universal human need for connection to our roots, and how music can provide a sense of belonging and belonging, even from afar.
