Sombra Perdida

Lost Shadow

Sombra Perdida

You were everything 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
On summer nights, you were everything to 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

Now you’re just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in yesterday's memoriesVagando en recuerdos de ayer

Now you’re just a shadow of my lifeHoy solo eres sombra de mi vida
And shadows pass and fade awayY las sombras pasan y se olvidan

A sky filled with starsUn cielo colmado de estrellas
On summer nights, you were everything to 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

Now you’re just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in yesterday's memoriesVagando en recuerdos de ayer

(For the most beloved child, Alex Poveda Ruiz.)(Para el niño más querido, Alex Poveda Ruiz.)

Who will you be when you return?Quien tu serás al volver
You want to come back into my lifeHoy quieres regresar a mi vida
Telling me sweet thingsDiciéndome cosas bonitas

You want the moon to shineHoy quieres que alumbre la Luna
Like in those nightsComo en aquellas noches
When our love lit upNuestro amor alumbró
I’d rather feel your absencePrefiero sentir yo tu ausencia
Knowing you’re not in my lifeSaber que no estás en mi vida

Now you’re just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in yesterday's memoriesVagando en recuerdos de ayer

Now you’re just a shadow of my lifeHoy solo eres sombra de mi vida
And shadows pass and fade awayY las sombras pasan y se olvidan

You want the moon to shineHoy quieres que alumbre la Luna
Like in those nightsComo en aquellas noches
When our love lit upNuestro amor alumbró
I’d rather feel your absencePrefiero sentir yo tu ausencia
Knowing you’re not in my lifeSaber que no estás en mi vida

Now you’re just a lost shadowHoy solo eres sombra perdida
Wandering in yesterday's memoriesVagando en recuerdos de ayer
