Original lyrics
Sombra de mi sombra
Eras mi delirio, eras mi pasión,
y te camelaba por las cuatro esquinas
de mi corazón.
Me olía tu cuerpo a menta y clavel
y, en tu boca roja como una granada,
saciaba mi sed.
Primeros de Mayo, últimos de Abril;
con otra persona, que más te gustaba,
te fuiste de mí... ¡Te fuiste de mí!
Sombra de mi sombra,
pena de mis penas...
¡Cómo echo de menos,
cuando estoy a solas,
tus carnes morenas!
Tus brazos de hombre,
tus muslos de trigo
que, en la noche negra de mi desventura,
ya no están conmigo...
¡Ya no están conmigo!
Paso por tu culpa fatigas de muerte,
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay, fatigas de muerte!
Porque tengo en vilo
la raíz del alma....
Sombra de mi sombra,
pena de mis penas,
de tanto quererte...
¡De tanto quererte!
Dentro de mi casa, vivo sin vivir
y, cuando recuerdo tus ojos de luto,
me quiero morir.
A los cuatro vientos grito mi verdad
y, al ver que no vienes, ¡como una chiquilla
me pongo a llorar!
Me duelen las venas, la sangre al correr,
y se me deshace la cal de mis huesos
de tanto querer... ¡De tanto querer!
Sombra de mi sombra,
pena de mis penas...
¡Cómo echo de menos,
cuando estoy a solas,
tus carnes morenas!
Tus brazos de hombre,
tus muslos de trigo
que, en la noche negra de mi desventura,
ya no están conmigo...
¡Ya no están conmigo!
Paso por tu culpa fatigas de muerte,
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay, fatigas de muerte!
Porque tengo en vilo
la raíz del alma....
Sombra de mi sombra,
pena de mis penas,
¡No te imgainas
cuánto hecho de menos
tus carnes morenas!
Tus brazos de hombre,
tus muslos de trigo
que, en la noche negra de mi desventura,
ya no están conmigo...
¡Ya no están conmigo!
Paso por tu culpa fatigas de muerte,
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay, fatigas de muerte!
Porque tengo en vilo
la raíz del alma....
Sombra de mi sombra,
pena de mis penas,
de tanto quererte...
¡De tanto quererte!

Shadow of My Own Shadow
You were my obsession, you were my passion
And I would worship you across the four cardinal points
Of my heart.
Your body smelled to me like mint and carnations
And in your mouth, as red as a pomegranate,
I would sate my thirst.
First days of May, last days of April;
For someone else, whom you liked more than you liked me,
You left my side... You left my side!
Shadow of my own shadow,
Sorrow above all sorrows...
I miss so very badly,
When I'm all alone,
Your swarthy flesh!
Your manly arms,
Your limb thighs
That, in the dark nights of my misfortune,
Are not next to me anymore...
They're not next to me anymore!
Because of you, I'm feeling the exhaustion of death
Oh! Oh! Oh, the exhaustion of death!
Because the root of my soul
Lies exposed...
Shadow of my own shadow,
Sorrow above all sorrows,
It's because I love you so much...
It's because I love you so much!
I am in my house, but I cannot live within it
And whenever I remember your eyes, as black as mourning,
I want to die.
I scream my truth to the four winds
And, when I realize that you won't come, I start to cry
Like a little girl!
My very veins hurt and my blood aches as it runs,
And the very matter of my bones disintegrates
Out of loving so deeply... Out of loving so deeply!
Shadow of my own shadow,
Sorrow above all sorrows...
I miss so very badly,
When I'm all alone,
Your swarthy flesh!
Your manly arms,
Your limb thighs
That, in the dark nights of my misfortune,
Are not next to me anymore...
They're not next to me anymore!
Because of you, I'm feeling the exhaustion of death
Oh! Oh! Oh, the exhaustion of death!
Because the root of my soul
Lies exposed...
Shadow of my own shadow,
Sorrow above all sorrows...
You cannot even begin to imagine
How very much I miss
Your swarthy flesh!
Your manly arms,
Your limb thighs
That, in the dark nights of my misfortune,
Are not next to me anymore...
They're not next to me anymore!
Because of you, I'm feeling the exhaustion of death
Oh! Oh! Oh, the exhaustion of death!
Because the root of my soul
Lies exposed...
Shadow of my own shadow,
Sorrow above all sorrows,
It's because I love you so much...
It's because I love you so much!
