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.
Meus pensamentos cal voás tolos...
¿Á donde vâs?
¿Á donde? á donde, s’eu no-no digo,
Naid’o sabrá.
D’a fonte ô rio, d’o rio â veiga,
D’a veiga ô mar,
¿Que buscás tolos?... s’eu no-no digo,
Naid’o sabrá.
Meus pensamentos... ¿porque perenes
M’atormentás?
¿Por qu’îs decote ¡ay! s’á donde ides
Naid’o sabrá?
Cal palomiña buscás a llama
Que vos queimar...
Y a triste morte que vos teredes
Naid’a sabrá.
