Sombra Perdida

Lost Shadow

Sombra Perdida

What were you to meQue fuiste tú para mi
A scream that drowned in the distanceUn grito que se ahogó en la distancia
A sun that died with the eveningUn sol que murió con la tarde
A sky filled with starsUn cielo colmado de estrellas
In summer nights, you were for meEn noches veraneras fuiste tu para mi
You were the passing birdTú fuiste el ave de paso
That came to rest in my lifeQue vino a posar en mi vida

Today you are just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in memories of yesterdayVagando en recuerdos de ayer

Today you are just a shadow of my lifeHoy solo eres sombra de mi vida
And shadows pass and are forgottenY las sombras pasan y se olvidan

A sky filled with starsUn cielo colmado de estrellas
In summer nights, you were for meEn noches veraneras fuiste tu para mi
You were the passing birdTú fuiste el ave de paso
That came to rest in my lifeQue vino a posar en mi vida

Today you are just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in memories of yesterdayVagando en recuerdos de ayer

(For the dearest child, Alex Poveda Ruiz.)(Para el niño mas querido, Alex Poveda Ruiz.)

Who will you be when you returnQuien tu serás al volver
Today you want to come back to my lifeHoy quieres regresar a mi vida
Telling me nice thingsDiciéndome cosas bonitas

Today you want the moon to shineHoy quieres que alumbre la luna
Like in those nightsComo en aquellas noches
Our love shoneNuestro amor alumbró
I prefer to feel your absencePrefiero sentir yo tu ausencia
To know that you are not in my lifeSaber que no estas en mi vida

Today you are just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in memories of yesterdayVagando en recuerdos de ayer

Today you are just a shadow of my lifeHoy solo eres sombra de mi vida
And shadows pass and are forgottenY las sombras pasan y se olvidan

Today you want the moon to shineHoy quieres que alumbre la luna
Like in those nightsComo en aquellas noches
Our love shoneNuestro amor alumbró
I prefer to feel your absencePrefiero sentir yo tu ausencia
To know that you are not in my lifeSaber que no estas en mi vida

Today you are just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in memories of yesterdayVagando en recuerdos de ayer
