Lejos De Tí Lyrics in English by Rels B
Capullo is a fascinating word with multiple meanings. It can refer to a 'cocoon' or a 'flower bud', symbolizing something innocent or developing.
However, in Spanish slang, it's also used to mean 'idiot' or 'fool'. In this song, the line "Yo como un capullo buscándote" (I like an idiot looking for you) uses the slang meaning, highlighting the singer's regret and self-reproach for foolishly pursuing someone who mistreated him. This dual meaning makes it a memorable and intriguing word.
Rels B's "Lejos de Tí" is all about that moment when you finally realize you're way better off without someone. He starts right off saying, "Lejos de ti no estoy tan mal" [Far from you I'm not so bad] and "Sé que sin ti soy el number one" [I know that without you I'm number one]. It's a total mic drop, moving from putting this person on a pedestal, "Yo que te tenía en un pedestal" [I who had you on a pedestal], to realizing they weren't special at all: "Pero me equivoqué, no eras tan especial" [But I was wrong, you weren't that special].
He's done with the drama, declaring, "Mami, no voy a volver" [Mommy, I'm not coming back] because he's "demasiado bien" [too good] without them. He even throws in that he was with someone else, "Anoche acabé con otra mujer" [Last night I ended up with another woman], just to drive the point home. It's a blunt, honest look at reclaiming your worth after a toxic relationship, even if there's still some back and forth, like when he says, "Te odio, te amo, rompemos, follamos" [I hate you, I love you, we break up, we hook up]. But ultimately, he knows he's thriving "Lejos de ti" [Far from you].
