Lyrics
Se me ancló en la espalda tu silencio, Pachamama.
Un peso de adobe crudo que no entibia la cama.
La helada de agosto rajó las macetas del patio,
y en la cocina el piso quema, quema más que el estaño.
[Chorus]
Esta sombra de cal
ya no me pesa al respirar.
Esta sombra de cal
ya no me pesa al respirar.
[Verse 2]
“La pena es piedra pishqa”, me dijiste una tarde.

[Chorus]
Esta sombra de cal
ya no me pesa al respirar.
Esta sombra de cal
ya no me pesa al respirar.
[Bridge]

Tejiendo esta calma con hebras de aire y luz de ventana.
[Outro]
Se va disolviendo, lenta.
La sombra de cal.
