Lejanía Lyrics in English by Ryan Castro, BLESSD

Lejanía translates to "distance" or "remoteness." It's a beautiful and evocative word that perfectly captures the central theme of the song.

In "Lejanía," Ryan Castro sings about a love that exists across a great distance, expressing the longing and challenges of a relationship where the lovers are physically apart. The word encapsulates the bittersweet nature of their connection, making it both memorable and central to the song's narrative.

"Lejanía" means distance, and that's the whole complaint here: Ryan Castro can't stop calling a woman his even though she's nowhere near him. The chorus keeps landing on the same line — "Es un amor en la lejanía no estás conmigo y te siento mía" [It's a love stuck at a distance, you're not with me and I still feel you're mine] — repeated so often it starts to sound like he's convincing himself. The FaceTime calls that should settle him down do the opposite: "Me está llamando por FaceTime diciéndome que qué estoy haciendo" [She calls me on FaceTime asking what I'm doing], and he can't explain the jealousy over someone he barely sees. Instagram doesn't help either — "Postea una foto y yo le doy Like pero que impotencia no poderla tocar" [She posts a photo and I hit Like, but what helplessness, not being able to touch her] — a Like button standing in for a hand he can't actually reach. He eventually names the real problem out loud: "Amor a la distancia no es saludable... pero de este romance no somos culpables" [Long-distance love isn't healthy... but we're not to blame for this romance], and closes by handing her the only thing he can send across that gap: "Esta canción la hice pa' ti, pa' este amor que tenemos en la distancia" [I wrote this song for you, for this love we have across the distance].
