Una Sombra

A Shadow

Una Sombra

On the shore of a beachA la orilla de una playa
I saw a black shadowUna sombra negra vi
I was moving away from itYo me retiraba de ella
It was approaching meElla se acercaba a mi

Sir, sirCaballero caballero
What are you doingQue anda haciendo
I am here looking forPor aqui ando en busca de
My wife whom I lost long agoMi esposa que hace tiempo la perdi

Well, your wife is already deadPues su esposa ya esta muerta
I saw it myselfEso mismo yo lo vi
Four white candlesCuatro candeleros blancos
Lit her up thereLa alumbraron a ella alli

Marry, beloved husbandCasate esposo querido
Marry, don't wander like thisCasate no andes asi
The first daughter you haveLa primera hija que tengas
You will name her the same as meLe pondrasigual que a mi

Take the remaining childrenDe los hijos que quedaron
Take them out to have funSacalos a divertir
Mention me when you talk to themNombrame cuando les hables
So they remember mePa que se acuerden de mi

The May flower dried upSe seco la flor de mayo
The April flower dried upSe seco la flor de abril
They are memories of your wifeSon recuerdos de su esposa
Who left before dying.Que dejo antes de morir.
