Con mi sombra
Muda como sigilosa
se mueve a mi alrededor
se desprende de mi cuerpo
y me dice que soy yo.
Mi sombra viene conmigo
sin saber a dónde va
no se queja por el tranco
ella me sigue nomás.
Muchas veces va delante
y me imita al caminar
y no me pierde de vista
cuando camina detrás.
Hay sombras que palidecen
dentro de la oscuridad
y otras que tienen luz propia
nadie las de ¹apagar.
Con lo poco que le ofrezco
tal vez me quiera dejar
si ella no me cuesta nada
y nunca me pide de más.
Sombra que siempre me asombras
sombra que no hay otra igual
si ella baila chacareras
cuando me escucha silbar.
Hay quienes nunca han tenido
y no la merecen tener
si sus sombras no aparecen
por algo debe ser.
With My Shadow
Quiet as a whisper
it moves around me
it detaches from my body
and tells me that it's me.
My shadow comes with me
without knowing where it's going
doesn't complain about the pace
she just keeps following me.
Many times she goes ahead
and imitates my walk
and never loses sight of me
when she walks behind.
There are shadows that fade
within the darkness
and others that have their own light
no one can put out.
With the little I offer her
maybe she'll want to leave
if she doesn't cost me anything
and never asks for more.
Shadow that always surprises me
shadow like no other
if she dances folk dances
when she hears me whistle.
There are those who have never had
and don't deserve to have
if their shadows don't appear
there must be a reason.
