Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sol y Sombra" by The Cat Empire tells the story of a couple expressing their love for each other through dance. The two people are represented by the lyrics "Sol y Sombra aeh Mama" and "Sol y Sombra aeh Papa," who dance along with the rhythm of a cha cha. The words "sol y sombra" mean sun and shadow in Spanish, which could indicate the different sides of a person like happiness and sadness. This can be seen as the dancers shift between happy and energetic movements to slow and emotional ones in the song. The repeated "eah eah eah" and "Oh eah eah" create the mood of the dance party, making it easier for listeners to visualize the scene.

Actually, this is a really good instrumental track but the lyrics are very very poor. I think sometimes is better to not understand something.
