Your shadow
Waltz
Music: Enrique Santos Discépolo
Lyrics: Luis César Amadori / Enrique Santos Discépolo
Pain that consumes me
without mercy.
Pain that I don't deserve
for loving.
Punishment of living
without being able to forget you.
Your absence is a torment
that tortures without killing.
Your shadow haunts
my endless hours.
Your voice does not let me live.
My eyes and my mouth miss you
and my passion invokes you
in the image of God.
There are things that the soul
never forgets,
no matter how much it wants to forget them...
Your blessed shadow
I carry it in my being,
today more, if possible, than yesterday.
You are in my caresses,
in my skin,
and I am your prisoner,
faithful shadow...
If I run after you
I can't reach you,
and if I flee you torment me
with your siege, your cruelty!
