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.
¡Cómo lle doy a yalma,
Pero, canto lle doy!
De dia nin de noite
Non para c’a delor.
¡Señor, vó-la fixeche,
Señor, curaina vos!
Y o corazon ferido,
Tamen ¡canto lle doy!
Y eu ben sey que non pode
Sandar d’o corazon.
¡Señor, daille descanso
N’a terra que a criou,
Que o polvo torne ô polvo,
Y o esprito, ô ceu, bon Dios!
