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.

Tecin soya a miña tea,

Sembrey soya o meu nabal,

Soya vou por leña ô monte,

Soya a vexo arder n’o lar.

Nin n’a fonte nin n’o prado

Así morra c’o a carráx

El non ha de virm’ á erguer,

El xa non me pousará.

¡Que tristeza! o vento soa,

Canta o grilo ô seu compás...

Ferve o pote... mais, meu caldo,

Soiña t’hey de cear.

Cala rula, os teus arrulos

Ganas de morrer me dan,

Cala, grilo, que si cantas

Sinto negras soïdás.

O meu homiño perdeuse,

Ninguen sabe en onde vay...

Anduriña que pasache

Con él as ondas d’o mar,

Anduriña, voa, voa,

Ven e dime en ond’está.
