Verse 1
I've thought about life if you loved me
I've cried thinking that my life is too much for you
I've thought about forgetting you as the years pass
But I'll never be able to, your shadow pursues me
Waiting, waiting and dreaming about you
Waiting for time to pull you along with me
Waiting for the night to lose your affection
Like when you arrived to change my destiny
And, oh, little one
You're more troublesome than doing gargles upside down
Verse 2
You already knew that I carry you deep inside my soul
You didn't know the pain that your absence gave me
Or: You didn't know the pain your caused gave me
You didn't think that time would change our lives
You didn't see the tears that my eyes were crying
Today that only destiny can punish you
Withering your life or denying you desires
You'll cry for your misfortunes when you're already lost
And you'll see that you suffer when you lack comfort
I've thought about life if you loved me
I've cried thinking that my life is too much for you
I've thought about forgetting you as the years pass
But I'll never be able to, your shadow pursues me

SONG MEANING

Chalino Sánchez opens his heart wide in Me Persigue Tu Sombra, turning a traditional Regional Mexican sound into a diary of obsession, regret, and undying hope. The narrator is haunted by the “shadow” of a lost love: he daydreams about how beautiful life would be if she cared, then crashes back to reality with tears when he feels she thinks he is worthless. Years threaten to pass, yet her memory sticks to him like a phantom, and every night becomes a lonely vigil where he waits for destiny to bring her back.

In the middle of that sorrow, a hint of bittersweet vengeance rises. He predicts that fate will one day wither her dreams, making her taste the same loneliness she once ignored in his eyes. The song balances raw yearning with a quiet promise of cosmic payback, all delivered through Chalino’s gritty vocals and the unmistakable sway of ranchera guitars. It is the musical equivalent of riding through dusty backroads at dusk, heart aching yet stubbornly beating for the one who walked away.
