IX
Paz, paz deseada
Pra min, ¿onde está?
Quixais n’hey de tela...
¡N’a tiben xamais!
Sosego, descanso,
¿Ond’hey d’o atopar?
N’os mals que me matan,
N’a dor que me dan.
¡Paz! ¡paz ti és mentira!
¡Pra min non’a hay!
About This Book
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.
