Lejania

In 'Lejania,' Perla delves into the depths of nostalgia and longing for a distant, cherished love from her childhood. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that once was, now only a memory that haunts the singer's present. The opening lines, 'Lejano amor primero de mi niñez / Como yo Te adoro,' set the tone for a heartfelt reflection on a past love that remains deeply adored despite the passage of time. This love is described as 'sublime ensueño azul,' a sublime blue dream, indicating its ethereal and almost unattainable nature.

The song's narrative is steeped in melancholy, as the singer reminisces about the 'tardes de nuestro amor,' the afternoons of their love, which now feel distant and unreachable. The memories come flooding back 'como bandadas de ruiseñor,' like flocks of nightingales, symbolizing the beauty and sadness intertwined in these recollections. The singer's soul is left with these memories, which are both a source of sorrow and a cherished connection to a happier past.

As the song progresses, the singer reveals the pain of abandonment and the silent suffering that follows. The lines 'Ella no sabrá / Que sufro en silencio / Ese gran vacío / Que al ir me dejó' express a profound sense of loss and the void left by the loved one's departure. Despite the passage of time, the singer holds onto hope, waiting for the day when this love will return and bring light to the 'noches largas de mi orfandad,' the long nights of her orphanhood. 'Lejania' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reunion, capturing the universal human experience of longing for a lost love.
