Necesito de Tí
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que mi guitarra diga todo lo que yo
No se decir por mi
O quizás deba esperar
A que el insulto del reloj
Acabe de planear mi fin
Duelen tanto las sonrisas
Cuesta un mundo respirar
Me sigue rodeando
La sombra de ti
Y siguen rodando por ahí
Todas las palabras que dijimos
Y los besos que nos dimos
Como siempre
Hoy estoy
Pensando en ti
Debes saber
Que hay pedazos de tu boca sin querer
Regados por aquí
Y que tropiezo cada día sin pensar
Con un viejo recuerdo mas
Y alguna nueva historia gris
Si no puedo estar contigo
Ya no puedo estar sin ti
Cada vez se hace mas duro ser feliz
Me sigue rodeando
La sombra de ti
Y siguen rodando por ahí
Todas las palabras que dijimos
Y los besos que nos dimos
Como siempre
Hoy estoy
Pensando en ti
Todas las palabras que dijimos
Y los besos que nos dimos
Como siempre
Hoy estoy
Pensando en ti
The lyrics of Shakira's song "Sombra" convey a feeling of longing for someone who is no longer there. The singer starts off by saying that she is going to let her guitar do the talking because she cannot express the emotions she is feeling. She talks about how difficult it is to breathe and how even the happy moments hurt so much. She wishes that time would stop and not move on, as it brings the end closer. The pain of missing someone is so intense that it is all consuming and she can barely hold on.
In the chorus, she talks about how the shadow of this person still surrounds her, and all the words they shared and kisses they exchanged continue to haunt her. Even though they are no longer together, it is hard for her to let go of the memories and move on. She talks about how there are pieces of this person everywhere, and she stumbles upon them every day, causing her to remember the happy moments they shared. She ends the song by saying that she is still thinking about this person and all the moments they shared, even though they are no longer together.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sombra" are a beautiful representation of the pain one feels when they long for someone they cannot have. Shakira expresses this emotion with honesty and sincerity, which makes the song relatable to many.

En mi opinión después de magia, ésta es la mejor canción de esa época, si hicieran una película de su vida al estilo de Selena, sería perfecta para ella.
