Tu Lejanía

Mayra Marti's song 'Tu Lejanía' is a beautiful ode to the feeling of longing and the deep connection one can have with nature. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a landscape seen through a window, described as a 'poesía hecha color' or 'poetry made color,' with the dominant hue being 'verde esmeralda' or 'emerald green.' This imagery suggests a lush, vibrant environment that is both physically distant and emotionally significant to the narrator.

The song's repeated references to 'llanos, cerros, montañuelas' (plains, hills, small mountains) and 'ríos desbordantes de esplendor' (rivers overflowing with splendor) evoke a sense of grandeur and natural beauty. These elements are not just part of the scenery but are imbued with a sense of life and vitality, almost as if the landscape itself is a living, breathing entity. The 'sinfonía hecha luz en la montaña' (symphony made light in the mountain) further emphasizes this idea, suggesting that the natural world is a harmonious and radiant presence in the narrator's life.

At its core, 'Tu Lejanía' is a song about the emotional impact of distance and the yearning for a place or person that holds significant meaning. The 'claridad de Sol' (clarity of the Sun) and the plea for the distant love to 'da mi corazón tu amor' (give my heart your love) highlight the deep emotional connection and the desire for closeness despite the physical separation. This longing is not just for the landscape but also for the love that it represents, making the song a poignant reflection on the intertwining of nature, love, and distance.
