La sombra de tu sonrisa
Fausto Papetti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

Now when I remember spring
All the joys that love can bring




I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Overall Meaning

"The Shadow of Your Smile" is a song about the power of love and how it can leave a lasting impression on someone's life even after they have gone. The opening lines speak of how memories of their love will color the singer's dreams and light up the dawn. The words "shadow" and "smile" suggest that although the person is gone, they have left an imprint on the singer's life that is still present.


The lyrics then encourage the listener to see themselves through the eyes of the person who loved them. They are urged to look into "my eyes my love" and see "all the lovely things you are to me." This reinforces the idea that love is a powerful force that can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us.


The final lines of the song recall the memory of a past spring season, and how remembering the joys of love brings a smile to the singer's face. The song ends with the idea that the memory of the person's smile will continue to bring joy to the singer long after they have gone.


"La sombra de tu sonrisa" (The Shadow of Your Smile) is a popular Spanish-language version of the song. Its lush arrangement is highlighted by Fausto Papetti's smooth saxophone playing, which captures the emotional beauty of the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

The shadow of your smile
The memory of your smile lingers on


When you have gone
After you have departed from me


Will color all my dreams
Will influence all my dreams


And light the dawn
And bring hope for the new day


Look into my eyes my love and see
Gaze into my eyes and realize


All the lovely things you are to me
The amazing things you mean to me


Our wistful little star
Our star that was full of longing


It was far, too high
It was too distant and unattainable


A teardrop kissed your lips
A tear fell on your lips


And so did I
I did the same


Now when I remember spring
Now, as I recall the springtime


All the joys that love can bring
All the pleasures that love can offer


I will be remembering
I will recollect


The shadow of your smile
The memory of your smile lingers on

Muy bien... Excelente interpretación instrumental de un tema musical que exige mucha limpieza en la ejecución del instrumento que se utiliza para ejecutar las notas melódicas en secuencia y enlazar lograr armonizar con los demás instrumentos, melódicos y de percusión que acompañan el saxo en una ejecución magistral de un músico de tan alto nivel artístico profesional como lo es, y lo seguirá siendo por siempre Fausto Papetti.... Sobran las palabras al disfrutar de una escala auténtica diatonica, indudablemente bien interpretada.
