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.
Alguns din, ¡miña terra!
Din outros, ¡meu cariño!
Y este, ¡miñas lembranzas!
Y aquel, ¡ou meus amigos!
Todos sospiran, todos,
Por algun ben perdido.
Eu sô non digo nada,
Eu sô nunca sospiro,
Qu’o meu corpo de terra
Y o meu cansado esprito,
Á donde quer qu’eu vaya
Van conmigo.
