Paroles et traduction en anglais Javier Alvarez - Sombra Mía

Sombra Mía

Raudo voy, lento también,
No sé si taparme los ojos,
Cubrirme o gastarme.
Llamarte de usted,
Acaso tutearte;
Rendirme a tu paso,
Y teñirte después.

De aquí soy, de allí también;
No sé si asustarme de nuevo,
Reírme o llorarte.
Vestirte de luto,
Acaso rasgarte;
Tumbarme a tu lado,
Y beberte la sed.

Sombra mía,
Que caminas,
Dime algo, o vete esta vez.

Sombra mía,
Que me espías,
Pega un salto y suéltame el pie.

Mal estoy, y bien también;
No sé si romper este espejo,
Limpiarte o tirarte.
Venderte en el rastro,
Acaso retarte;
Fundirme contigo,
Y violarte en mi sien,

Sombra amiga,
Y enemiga;
Del alfalto derríteme el él.

Sombra antigua,
De la vida;
A tus ramas condena mi fe.

Sombra mía,
Que caminas,
Dime algo, o vete esta vez.

Sombra mía,
Que me espías,
Pega un salto y suéltame el pie.

My Shadow

I go fast, and I go slow too,
I don't know whether to cover my eyes,
Clothe myself or spend myself.
Call you "you",
Or perhaps "thou";
Surrender to your pace,
And then dye you.

I'm from here, and I'm from there too;
I don't know whether to be afraid again,
Laugh at you or weep for you.
Clothe you in mourning,
Or perhaps tear you apart;
Lie down beside you,
And drink your thirst.

My shadow,
That walks,
Tell me something, or go away this time.

My shadow,
That spies on me,
Leap up and let go of my foot.

I'm sick, and I'm well too;
I don't know whether to break this mirror,
Clean you or throw you away.
Sell you at a flea market,
Or perhaps challenge you;
Merge with you,
And rape you in my temple,

My shadow, friend,
And enemy;
Melt me the "he" out of the asphalt.

My shadow, old one,
Of life;
Condemn my faith to your branches.

My shadow,
That walks,
Tell me something, or go away this time.

My shadow,
That spies on me,
Leap up and let go of my foot.
