La Sombra
Claudia de Colombia Lyrics

por donde quiera que vayas de mis amores te acordaras, te acordaras, te acordaras.
la sombra de mi recuerdo te seguira...
la sombra, la sombra, la sombra (bis)
cuando alguien te diga que te quiere mucho y no sientas nada que te conmueva tu corazon.
cuando alguien te bese amorosamente y tampoco sientas la llama ardiente de la pasion, entonces sera que te acordaras porque mi recuerdo como una sombra te seguira, entonces sera que te acordaras porque mi recuerdo como una sombra te seguira.
la sombra, la sombra, la sombra (bis)
cuando alguien te diga que te quiere mucho y no sientas nada que te conmueva tu corazon.
la sombra, la sombra, la sombra (bis)
The lyrics of "La Sombra" by Claudia de Colombia tell the story of a love that has ended, but whose memory continues to haunt the singer's former partner. The opening lines, "la sombra de mi recuerdo te seguira" (the shadow of my memory will follow you), set the melancholic tone of the song, which continues as the singer explains that no matter where her lover goes or what new loves he may find, he will always remember the one that got away. The use of the word "te acordaras" (you will remember) reinforces this idea, as does the repetition of the phrase "la sombra" (the shadow), which serves as a metaphor for the lingering presence of the singer's memory.
Later in the song, the singer addresses her former partner directly, warning him that when he meets someone new who professes to love him, he will not feel the same spark he once did with her. She suggests that this is because her memory, like a shadow, will continue to follow him, reminding him of what he once had. The repetition of the same verse twice underscores the song's sense of finality and its theme of lost love.
Overall, "La Sombra" is a bittersweet reflection on the lasting impact of lost love, and the way in which memories can continue to linger long after a relationship has ended.
