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.
Uns magoan querendo consolare,
Outros o dedo afincannos n’a llaga,
Mais o peor de todos é o traidore
Que repite ô ferirnos.—¡Todo pasa!
Y a concencia tranquila,
Déixanos tan dichoso e tan sereno,
Entregados á un dor que se non mata
Fay d’a vida un inferno.
Mais s’o trance lle chega
D’o mesmo que magoa, ser magoado,
Di qu’eterno cal Dios é seu penare
E pon n’o ceo, o lastimeiro layo.
