A sequence of lyric poems in Galician that blend evocative depictions of misty coastal and rural landscapes with intimate meditations on grief, longing, and domestic life. The voice alternates tender, maternal and elegiac tones with sharper social awareness, addressing scarcity, departure, and cultural memory. Varied forms—short songs, narrative fragments, and longer reflective pieces—use folk rhythms and vivid natural imagery to explore language, belonging, and the persistence of feeling across absence and change.
—Premita Dios que te vexas
Cal as cóbregas arrastro,
Qu’a yaugua que á beber vayas
Che se volva xaramagos.
Que pidas e non atopes
Pousada, acougo, n’amparo,
E qu’inda morto de fame,
Quedes ô pé d’un valado.
—Praguea boca, praguea
Mentras qu’eu me vou marchando,
Pragas de malas mulleres,
Nunca lle cân ôs soldados.
