  triste morrendo pouco a pouco vóu.
  By the flowery side of this spring,
  sitting in the shade of a weeping willow I am,
  aching heart, disconsolate soul,
  sad, little by little I die

- c1350, Kelvin M. Parker (ed.), Historia Troyana, page 50:
  estaua Paris adeante su a soonbra de hũ moy grande et forte rrobre
  Paris was ahead, under the shadow of a very large and strong oak tree
- 1880, Rosalía de Castro, Cantares Gallegos:
  Cando penso que te fuches,
  negra sombra que me asombras,
  ó pé dos meus cabezales
  tornas facéndome mofa.
  
  Cando maxino que es ida,
  no mesmo sol te me amostras,
  i eres a estrela que brila,
  i eres o vento que zoa.
  
  Si cantan, es ti que cantas,
  si choran, es ti que choras,
  i es o marmurio do río
  i es a noite i es a aurora.
  
  En todo estás e ti es todo,
  pra min i en min mesma moras,
  nin me abandonarás nunca,
  sombra que sempre me asombras.
  
  When I think that you're gone,
  dark shadow that shadows me,
  at the feet of my bed
  you return to mock me.
  
  When I'm imagining you're gone,
  in the sun itself you show yourself,
  and you are the star that glitters
  and you are the wind that howls.
  
  if they sing, it's you, singing,
  if they cry, it's you, crying,
  and you are the river's murmur,
  and you're the night, and you're the dawn.
  
  Everywhere you're and you're everything,
  for me and in myself you dwell,
  but you'll never left me alone,
  shadow that always shadows me.
(folklore, supernatural) shadow, ghost
