Sombras Lyrics in English by Natalia

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sombras by Natalia from Spanish to English.
Noche tan misteriosa
Night so mysterious
Estoy temblando sin querer
I'm trembling without meaning to
La luz que da la tormenta
The light that the storm gives
Sombras en mi piel
Shadows on my skin
Oigo murmullos y pasos
I hear murmurs and footsteps
Detrás del cuadro en la pared
Behind the painting on the wall
Se van borrando sus matices
Its shades keep fading
Y no queda ya nadie en él
And there's nobody left in it
Chorus 1
Percibo su calor
I feel his warmth
Su aroma seductor
His seductive scent
Chorus 1
Con fuerte suavidad
With strong softness
Una flor cae sobre mí
A flower falls on me
Chorus 1
Como un duende apasionado
Like a passionate sprite
Que me ata pies y manos
That ties my feet and hands
Chorus 1
A su cuerpo encadenados
Chained to his body
Amor con sabor a vida
Love with a taste of life
Cara oculta de la mentira
Hidden face of the lie
Chorus 1
Realidad de mi fantasía
Reality of my fantasy
Estoy tan confundida
I'm so confused
Llego el frío amanecer
The cold dawn arrived
Y está mi cama vacía
And my bed is empty
Lo mismo que ayer
The same as yesterday
Busco ansiosa en el cuadro
I search anxiously in the painting
Y está colgado en la pared
And it's hanging on the wall
Igual que hace un siglo
Just like a century ago
Pero yo sé que no lo soñé
But I know that I didn't dream it
Chorus 2
Aún guardo su calor
I still keep his warmth
Hay huellas de pasión
There are traces of passion
Chorus 2
Sé que al anochecer
I know that at nightfall
El hechizo vendrá otra vez
The spell will come again
Chorus 2
Como un duende apasionado
Like a passionate sprite
Que me ata pies y manos
That ties my feet and hands
Chorus 2
A su cuerpo encadenados
Chained to his body
Amor con sabor a vida
Love with a taste of life
Cara oculta de la mentira
Hidden face of the lie
Chorus 2
Realidad de mi fantasía
Reality of my fantasy
Bridge
Cuadro viviente
Living painting
Dulce suspense
Sweet suspense
Bridge
Sueño rebelde
Rebel dream
Que supera a la ficción
That surpasses fiction
Bridge
Magia enmarcada
Framed magic
Cuento de hadas
Fairy tale
Bridge
Alma embrujada
Bewitched soul
Hazme tuya una vez más
Make me yours once more
Chorus 3
Como un duende apasionado
Like a passionate sprite
Que me ata pies y manos
That ties my feet and hands
Chorus 3
A su cuerpo encadenados
Chained to his body
Amor con sabor a vida
Love with a taste of life
Cara oculta de la mentira
Hidden face of the lie
Chorus 3
Realidad de mi fantasía
Reality of my fantasy
Como un duende apasionado
Like a passionate sprite
Que me ata pies y manos
That ties my feet and hands
Chorus 3
A su cuerpo encadenados
Chained to his body
Amor con sabor a vida

Cara oculta de la mentira
Hidden face of the lie
Chorus 3
Realidad de mi fantasía

Como un duende apasionado
Like a passionate sprite
Did you like this lyrics translation?

Sombras invites us into a hauntingly romantic night where reality blurs with imagination. Natalia paints the scene of a storm-lit room, a whispering canvas, and a mysterious presence that steps out of the painting to wrap the singer in irresistible passion. The lyrics shimmer with gothic allure: shadows crawl across her skin, a phantom fragrance hangs in the air, and a single flower drops like a spell that binds her “pies y manos.” It is equal parts fear and fascination, turning the bedroom into a stage for a living work of art.

Beneath the suspenseful atmosphere lies a deeper theme of desire meeting uncertainty. Each dawn leaves the bed cold and the picture perfectly still, making her question what is true and what is fantasy. Yet she longs for nightfall again, when the duende apasionado will return and mix “amor con sabor a vida” with “la cara oculta de la mentira.” In other words, love here is thrilling precisely because it is untamed, unreal, and deliciously dangerous. Through vivid imagery and tension, Natalia celebrates that intoxicating space where dreams, art, and reality collide.
