Lyrics of Tan Lejos de Ti - Carlos Mata

Tan Lejos de Ti (original)

Quise escapar de ti, lejos de ti;
decidimos que era mejor, que era normal,
ya cansado de caminar, no me puedo engañar…
este invento de libertad ya no da mas,
He intentado olvidarte amor… con alguien mas,
y en el fondo de mis deseos siempre estas tu,
has dejado un vacio en mi, hoy todo me habla de ti…
cada calle de esta ciudad, cada cada lugar.
Tan lejos de ti y aún vas conmigo!
lejos de ti no se quien soy,
tan lejos de ti no puedo seguir…
me sobran los dias desde que no estas.
Tan lejos de ti no tengo vida!
lejos de ti nada es igual,
tan lejos de ti y aun vives en mi!
hasta el viento pronuncia tu nombre al pasar…
Me he embriagado hasta naufragar, para olvidar;
mi memoria lleva tu piel y tu verdad,
es inutil seguir asi abrazado a mi soledad…
necesito volver a ti para vivir!
Tan lejos de ti y aún vas conmigo!
lejos de ti no se quien soy,
tan lejos de ti no puedo seguir…
me sobran los dias desde que no estas.
Tan lejos de ti no tengo vida!
lejos de ti nada es igual,
tan lejos de ti y aun vives en mi!
hasta el viento pronuncia tu nombre al pasar…

(translation)

I wanted to escape from you, away from you;
we decided that it was better, that it was normal,
Tired of walking, I can't fool myself...
this invention of freedom no longer gives,
I have tried to forget you love... with someone else,
and at the bottom of my desires there is always you,
you have left a void in me, today everything tells me about you...
every street of this city, every every place.
So far from you and you're still with me!
Far from you I don't know who I am
So far from you I can't go on...
I have plenty of days since you are not here.
So far from you I have no life!
far from you nothing is the same,
so far from you and you still live in me!
even the wind pronounces your name as it passes...
I got drunk until I was shipwrecked, to forget;
my memory carries your skin and your truth,
It is useless to continue embracing my loneliness like this…
I need to return to you to live!
So far from you and you're still with me!
Far from you I don't know who I am
So far from you I can't go on...
I have plenty of days since you are not here.
So far from you I have no life!
far from you nothing is the same,
so far from you and you still live in me!
even the wind pronounces your name as it passes...
