Con mi sombra

With My Shadow

Con mi sombra

Quiet as a whisperMuda como sigilosa
it moves around mese mueve a mi alrededor
it detaches from my bodyse desprende de mi cuerpo
and tells me that it's me.y me dice que soy yo.

My shadow comes with meMi sombra viene conmigo
without knowing where it's goingsin saber a dónde va
doesn't complain about the paceno se queja por el tranco
she just keeps following me.ella me sigue nomás.

Many times she goes aheadMuchas veces va delante
and imitates my walky me imita al caminar
and never loses sight of mey no me pierde de vista
when she walks behind.cuando camina detrás.

There are shadows that fadeHay sombras que palidecen
within the darknessdentro de la oscuridad
and others that have their own lighty otras que tienen luz propia
no one can put out.nadie las de ¹apagar.

With the little I offer herCon lo poco que le ofrezco
maybe she'll want to leavetal vez me quiera dejar
if she doesn't cost me anythingsi ella no me cuesta nada
and never asks for more.y nunca me pide de más.

Shadow that always surprises meSombra que siempre me asombras
shadow like no othersombra que no hay otra igual
if she dances folk dancessi ella baila chacareras
when she hears me whistle.cuando me escucha silbar.

There are those who have never hadHay quienes nunca han tenido
and don't deserve to havey no la merecen tener
if their shadows don't appearsi sus sombras no aparecen
there must be a reason.por algo debe ser.
