La Sombra
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
¿dónde vieron la sombra? ¿dónde pasó?
La vieron empuñando tu corazón,
La vieron acechando con un fusil
Que un hombre convencido vale por mil.
¿dónde estará esa sombra
Que todo el mundo nombra?
No hay soldado que arremeta
Contra esa metralleta.
No hay perdón para la herida
De quien juega su vida.
Esto parece cosa de no creer:
¡miles de hombres armados y no poder!
Che...yo digo que el asunto
Es que el pueblo da su mano
A quien siente su hermano.
Es por eso que a esta sombra
Que todo el mundo nombra
La tierra la oscurece borrando el sol,
El monte la protege con su color
Y el agua de los ríos la mojará
Diciéndole al oído que llegará,
¡llegará, llegará!
