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.
Os manantiales sécanse,
Ôs robres cáenll’as follas,
Pero a tua yalma é plena primadera,
Non veu mais que un-ha aurora.
E en vano oyes d’o mundo,
En vano oyes d’a vida...
N’apagará a tua sede o que outros beben
N’as auguas maldecidas.
Mais cando chegue a tarde d’o teu dia
E chegue o teu outono,
Ven hastr’a miña tomba paseniño,
E deposita n’ela os teus remorsos.
