La Sombra (part. Bombino)
(La sombra)
No se ve a primera vista (la sombra)
No necesita ser protagonista (la sombra)
Te da lo que la luz no te revela
Lo que no tiene sombra, parece que vuela
No se le suben los humos a la cabeza (la sombra)
Porque aunque sea gigante no pesa (la sombra)
Sobresale sin ser luminosa (la sombra)
Le da volumen a la cosa (la sombra)
Te cuenta que la belleza es fea (la sombra)
El lo que la luz no quiere que veas (la sombra)
No lo teme al sol ni a su sistema (la sombra)
Porque con el fuego no se quema (la sombra)
Se olvidan rápido de ella
Porque aunque camine firme no deja huellas
Hablan del universo, pero nadie la nombra
Entre el huevo y la gallina, primero fue la sombra
(La sombra)
Trabaja tiempo completo (la sombra)
Es esclava de todos los objetos (la sombra)
Siempre hace lo que se le ordene (la sombra)
La llama el amo y ella viene (la sombra)
Produce masa pa' nosotros (la sombra)
Y el crédito se lo lleva otro (la sombra)
No es dueña de lo que compone (la sombra)
Cocina, pero no come (la sombra)
Tiene el estómago vacío (la sombra)
Por eso su futuro es sombrío (la sombra)
No ven como se desintegra
Porque la sangre de la sombra es negra
A los abusadores les quiero ver la cara
Cuando se levante de la tumba sankara (la sombra)
La luz quiere quitarle el control
Por eso en áfrica es donde pega más el sol
Somos las sombras que no tienen cara
Somos las sombras que no tienen nombre
Somos todo lo que la luz no te cuenta
Somos todo lo que la luz esconde
The Shadow (feat. Bombino)
(The shadow)
It's not seen at first sight (the shadow)
It doesn't need to be the protagonist (the shadow)
It gives you what the light doesn't reveal
What has no shadow, seems to fly
The fumes don't go to its head (the shadow)
Because even if it's giant, it's weightless (the shadow)
It stands out without being luminous (the shadow)
It gives volume to the thing (the shadow)
It tells you that beauty is ugly (the shadow)
It shows you what the light doesn't want you to see (the shadow)
It's not afraid of the sun or its system (the shadow)
Because it doesn't burn with fire (the shadow)
They quickly forget about it
Because even though it walks firmly, it leaves no traces
They talk about the universe, but nobody names it
Between the egg and the chicken, first was the shadow
(The shadow)
Works full time (the shadow)
Is a slave to all objects (the shadow)
Always does what it's ordered (the shadow)
The master calls and it comes (the shadow)
It produces mass for us (the shadow)
And credit goes to another (the shadow)
It doesn't own what it composes (the shadow)
It cooks, but doesn't eat (the shadow)
It has an empty stomach (the shadow)
That's why its future is bleak (the shadow)
They don't see how it disintegrates
Because the blood of the shadow is black
I want to see the abusers' faces
When Sankara rises from the grave (the shadow)
The light wants to take control away
That's why in Africa the sun hits the hardest
We are the shadows without a face
We are the shadows without a name
We are everything the light doesn't tell you
We are everything the light hides
