Alba s touto skladbou:
Abriendo Puertas,
English lyrics by Karen
Morris, Toronto, Canada
This song is more of a stright forward vallenato song with the blend of forging instruments, such as the steel string guitar, a cuban "tres" Cuban "clave", and a snare drum. "Lejos De Ti" talks about being apart from the person you love and all the feelings that arise from your loneliness. This song says " with all the love from my soul I wait for you next year and I wish to tell you with my guitar, all my feelings for you. I love you, I'm always dreaming of you, and without your love I'm dying.... but I'll keep waiting for you".
Tengo las cuerdans de mi guitarra
I have the stings of my guitar
Tengo la noche y tengo mi voz
I have the night and I have my voice
Para entregarte con toda el alma
With which to deliver to you with all my soul
Las dulces notas de mi canciéŤ
The sweetness of my song.
Son las tretezas y la nostalgia
My song is sadness and nostalgia,
Las amargarte del corazéŤ
And the bitterness of the heart.
Son tus recuerdos en la distancia
They are the memories of you at a distance
Los que me llenande inspiraciéŤ
That fill me with inspiration.

CORO:
Con todo el amor del alma
With all the love of my soul
Te espero en el aé§ nuevo
I wait for you in the new year.
Y quiero con mi guitarra
And I want to tell you with my guitar that
Decirte lo que yo siento
you are the one for whom I wait.
Que siempre te estoy queriendo
I want to tell you that I am always wanting you
Que siempre te estoy so錝ndo
And am always dreaming of you.
Sin ti yo me estoy muriendo
Without you I am dying.
Pero te sigo esperando
But, still, I am waiting for you.
-----------
Tengo la brisa por mi ventana
The breeze that flows through my window
Que me acaricia como tu voz
Caresses me like the tenderness of your voice,
Tengo gravadas dentro del alma
Imprinted on my soul are the memories of
Las dulces huellas de tu pasiéŤ
Your tender and sincere passion.
Voy sumergiendome en la nostalgia
I get lost in the nostalgia
Cuando en las noches yo pienso en ti
When in the nights I think of you.
Hay una lagrima que se escapa
A sadness fills my eyes and I cry,
Porque te siento lejos de mâŚă˛ăŹą
Because I am waiting for you.

Es este canto que lleva el viento
This song carries the spirit of my hope,
La voz que calma por verte ya
The voice that calms me by imagining seeing you already.
Es la esperanza de tu regreso
It is the hope of your return
Un rayo de luz en mi soledad
A ray of light in my solitude
Al despertar en las noches siento
I awaken many nights to
Que morire de tanto esperar
That feeling of waiting for you,
Pero al saber que estaremos juntos
But then rise to the knowledge that we will be together again
Se que mi pena va a terminar
and my pain will be at an end.
