Black Shadow by Rosalia de Castro

When I think that you departed,


Black shadow that overshades me,

To the hem of my head pillows

You return poking fun at me.


When I fancy that you've gone,

From the very sun you taunt me

And you are the star that shines

And you are the wind that moans.


If there's singing it's you who sings,

If there's weeping it's you who weeps,

And you are the river's rumour

And the night and the dawn.


Everywhere you are in everything,

For and within me you live

Nor will you ever leave me,

Shadow that always haunts me.

Lyrics adapted by Doug Gibson
