Qué Lejos
Francisco Céspedes
How Far Away
It happens to all of us when we're far away
Or at least those of us who are souls
Nostalgia comes to us in a thousand ways
And we turn it into the best bolero
Our hearts skip a beat, the street seems
Like a place without a face in our memory
And we give it a name
Desire takes over to tell ourselves another old story
Oh love, oh love, oh love how far away
Oh love, oh love, oh love how far away
The coffee smoke that stops us sometimes
Will always be better than what grandma made
I swear, heart, sure heart
You never tasted hers every day
So close to the pain and this calmness
That I've always made up to grow old
If not, I would have died in that tear
But you're not the only loneliness, there are new ones
Oh love...
And I keep on being love and I'm somewhat better
Even though my heart and fear hurt
And I keep on being love and I'm somewhat better
Even though my heart and fear hurt
Not knowing where to die
I must choose where to die
Something important when there's less time left
Ask me about the sea to compare
If there was never one like the one in my story
One's will always be unmatched
Especially when nostalgia shows up in the soul
And says oh love, oh love, oh love how far away
Oh love...
