The combination of the wonderful arrangement, Ry Cooder’s incomparable guitar, the feeling that one of our all-time greatest actors puts into voicing a song that is so beautiful to begin with …. well, it is hard not to say that this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. 😮
All of his working life as one of our greatest actors, Harry Dean Stanton never got the major award he so greatly deserved, and never got top billing. Please give that to him here. He is the singer, not Ry Cooder, as great a musician as he is. And this is as great a job of singing as I have ever heard.
Beauty and pain in a sublime manifestation of the folk-lore. How could one imagine that Mexico, Germany and USA -or Music, Cinema and Poetry- would converge and materialize feelings in this manner ?!
Con todo el respeto a los grandes cantantes mexicanos (Antonio Aguilar por ejemplo) que han interpretado este tema y al pueblo hermano de México, para mí la versión y arreglos de Ry Cooder que adaptó para el film de Wim Wenders "Paris, Texas" es más que digna, no solo por el preciosismo de los acordes y el cariño con que trata la adaptación, sino también por ser cantada por el propio actor que protagoniza la película, una voz no profesional, con ese suave acento de angloparlante, que la canta desde el corazón. Seguramente a los mexicanos inmigrantes esta versión no les agradará demasiado. Pero lo dicho. Temazo.
Qui lejos estoy del suelo Donde he Nacido Inmensa Nostalgia invade mi pensamiento Y’al verme tan solo y triste Cual hoja al viento Quisera llorar, quisera Morir de Sentamiento Oh Tierra del soul Suspiro por verte Y Ahora que lejos Yo vivo sin Luz, Sin Amor Y al verme tan solo y triste Cual hoja al viento quisera llorar Quisera Morir de sentimiento. How far I am from the ground where I was born Immense Nostalgia invades my thoughts And seeing me so alone and sad, like a leaf in the wind I wanted to cry, I wanted to die of feeling Oh land of soul I long to see you And now that far I live without light, without love And seeing me so alone and sad, like a leaf in the wind I wanted to cry I wanted to die of feeling.
This great song by Jose Lopez Alavez could well be THE anthem of all Mexicans, and all Latinos, who have been dislocated by their powerful northern neighbor.

“ No sé, pero qué talento y sentimiento para cantar y la guitarra no puede ser más mexicana, gracias por esta joya.
Que viva el pueblo Mixteco, Nativos/Indigenas de lo que hoy es Mexico...
Bella melodia, beautiful song. Grande, thank you.

I cant get enough of this, just to beautiful also heartbreaking.
Beste song ever zeker met Ry cooder en Dean stanton 🎉🎉🎉
Probably the most beautifully sad song ever written.
I love this song. It makes cry by emotión
This is the best version I have ever heard...
Hands down. Thanks to the Mixtecan people, to Ry Cooder, and to the supreme talent on many dimensions. - including being human - of HDS.
Harry Dean Stanton.....may he rest in peace....there.....wherever those like him go when they move on
¡¡Qué maravilla, Dios mío!!
Esta canção causa um tsunami de emoções; é indescritível. A voz de Harry Dean Stanton é cortante como um punhal afiado, rasga a alma.

Qui lejos estoy del suelo Donde he Nacido
Inmensa Nostalgia invade mi pensamiento
Y’al verme tan solo y triste Cual hoja al viento
Quisera llorar, quisera Morir de Sentamiento
Oh Tierra del soul Suspiro por verte
Y Ahora que lejos
Yo vivo sin Luz, Sin Amor
Y al verme tan solo y triste Cual hoja al viento
quisera llorar Quisera Morir de sentimiento.
How far I am from the ground where I was born
Immense Nostalgia invades my thoughts
And seeing me so alone and sad, like a leaf in the wind
I wanted to cry, I wanted to die of feeling
Oh land of soul I long to see you
And now that far
I live without light, without love
And seeing me so alone and sad, like a leaf in the wind
I wanted to cry I wanted to die of feeling.
His voice touches my soul. Unreached.
Canção muito bela.
Só quem não tem sensibilidade e coração pode não gostar disto. Parabéns e obrigado.
