This and inevitable are my favorite songs of Shakira.. The truth is, that her music in spanish is sooo much deeper than the one that she writes in english.
Sombra de ti, is literally "shadow of you" pretty much talks about a true love that a person has and that this memory and fixation of that person haunts you all the time when you are going to start to love again
debes saber
(you should know)
que hay pedazos de tu boca sin querer
(that there are pieces of your mouth by mistake)
regados por aquí
(thrown around here)
y que tropiezo cada día sin pensar
(and I trip over them everyday without noticing)
con un viejo recuerdo mas
(with another old memory)
y alguna nueva historia gris
(and a new grey story)
si no puedo estar contigo
(if I can't be with you)
ya no puedo estar sin ti
(I can't be without you)
cada vez se hace mas duro ser feliz
(each time its harder for me to be happy)
It just resembles the deep impact a person can have on you to the point of not letting you open up to other people easily..
