Let me tell you about my shadow

Let me tell you about my shadow.
My shadow and I are one .
Yet , I did not know when he crept in
When the light I walk , he is a walking shadow
Strutting close to me ,
And at midday , he leans closer by
He and I are travelers, drifters in life
We are a walking shadow

Let me tell you about my shadow.
When he and I no longer loved
And yet he follows me everywhere
How can I be relieved , I cry and be weep
But he does not move , he does not leave
Almost despising , I curse my fate
He and I , cannot be parted
We are a walking shadow

Let me tell you about my shadow.
I love him , yet he harms me daily
Desiring that girls form and that woman's state
Oh, how he harms me ,
He does not leave , and I-
I cannot ,

What shadow is this , that I have
That does not feel the same pain as I
That does not give me relief in my sorrow
Yet , I love this shadow
You see , he and I can never part
For he lies in heart
Forever glowing in the shadow of my love
Oh , listen here
Let me tell you about my shadow.
