Tan Cerca y a La Vez Tan Lejos

I want to see you, hug you, have you by my side
But every day it gets harder for me, because
I don't know how to reach you, I want to tell you how much
I love you, so close yet so far away

You come to my house and I look at you attentively, I want
To smell your hair, your skin, everything
That covers you, hold your hand, but I can't
Because I fear you might say no, and I want to tell you

I want to see you, hug you, have you by my side
But every day it gets harder for me, because
I don't know how to reach you, I want to tell you how much
I love you, so close yet so far away

I give you coffee, you drink it, when you give me the cup I take it
To the kitchen, I smell the cup, I drink from where you drank
To feel the taste of your skin, and I return to you, but we talk
About the country, showbiz, and other things, but I look at you and
I don't dare say anything, because I fear rejection

I want to see you, hug you, have you by my side
But every day it gets harder for me, because
I don't know how to reach you, I want to tell you how much
I love you, so close yet so far away
