Paroles et traduction Antonio Orozco - Tan Lejos y Tan Cerca

Tan Lejos y Tan Cerca

Sin poderme comparar
Haciendo uso de derecho,
Entre antiguos muros
Intento hacerme ver.

Tres finos cristales
Que unidos hacen uno,
Y separan la tila de la menta
El murmullo del silencio.

Tengo miedo
Dudas veo, no me acerco
Y me retiro
Al rincón del silencio.

[Estribillo (bis)]
Sin recompensas ni premios
Sin que digas te quiero,
Si alejas tu cuerpo
Desnuda tu alma.

Profunda la tuya
En fondos azules,
Creando futuro
Rasgando inquietudes.

Tremendas virtudes
Que a solas derrocho,
Me niego a la idea
De no estar contigo.

Tengo miedo
Dudas veo,
No me acerco y me retiro
Al rincón del silencio.

So Far and Yet So Close

Unable to compare myself,
Excercising my right,
Between ancient walls
I try to make myself seen.

Three thin panes of glass
United as one,
And separating lime from mint
The murmur of silence.

I'm afraid,
I see doubts; I won't come close
And I'll retreat
To the corner of silence.

[Chorus (twice)]
Without rewards or prizes
Without you saying I love you
If your body is far away,
Lay your soul bare.

Yours is profound,
In deep blue hues
Creating the future,
Tearing through anxieties.

Tremendous virtues
Which I squander in solitude;
I refuse to entertain the thought
Of not being with you.

I'm afraid,
I see doubts,
I won't come close and I'll retreat
To the corner of silence.
