Cuando Estoy Lejos de Tí

Alejandro Lerner's 'Cuando Estoy Lejos de Tí' is a poignant ballad that delves into the depths of longing and love. The lyrics express the profound impact that separation from a loved one can have on a person's life. The song begins with a description of how the world seems dull and lifeless when the narrator is away from their beloved. The stars lose their shine, and the sun fails to light up the day, metaphorically illustrating the darkness that engulfs the narrator's world in the absence of their partner.

The chorus emphasizes the deep connection the narrator feels with their loved one, stating that they are an intrinsic part of their being, 'palpitating with me.' This line suggests that the loved one's presence is as vital as a heartbeat, and without their love, the narrator feels they cannot truly live or die. The refusal to lose the beloved and the inability to erase them from memory highlights the intensity of the emotional bond.

The song concludes with a sense of destiny, suggesting that their paths are meant to cross beyond the horizon, where hearts are born. This poetic imagery reinforces the idea that their love is fated and transcends physical distance. Lerner's heartfelt lyrics and emotive delivery capture the essence of a love that is deeply rooted and everlasting, even in the face of separation.
