Translation of the song lyrics La Sombra - Residente, Bombino

La Sombra (original)

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)
Es 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 Africa 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

La Sombra (translation)

It gives you what the light does not reveal to you
What does not have a shadow seems to fly
The fumes do not go up to the head (The shadow)
Because even if it is giant it does not weigh (The shadow)
She 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 is what the light does not want you to see (The shadow)
He is not afraid of the sun or his system (The Shadow)
Because with the fire you don't burn (The shadow)
They quickly forget about her
Because although she walks firmly, she leaves no footprints
They talk about the universe, but nobody names it
Between the egg and the chicken, first it was the shadow
(The shadow)
Work full time (The Shadow)
She is a slave to all objects (The shadow)
She always does what she is told (The shadow)
The master calls her and she comes (The shadow)
She produces dough for us (The shadow)
And the credit goes to someone else (The Shadow)
She is not the owner of what she composes (The shadow)
She cooks, but she doesn't eat (The shadow)
She has an empty stomach (The shadow)
That's why her future is bleak (The shadow)
They don't see how she disintegrates
Because the blood of the shadow is black
I want to see the abusers' faces
When she rises from the grave Sankara (The shadow)
The light wants to take away your control
That's why in Africa is where the sun hits the most
We are the shadows that have no face
We are the shadows that have no name
We are everything that the light does not tell you
We are everything that the light hides
