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.
Ando buscando meles e frescura
Para os meus labios secos,
Y eu non sei com’atopo, nin por onde,
Queimores e amarguexos.
Ando buscand’almibres qu’almibaren
Estos meus agres versos,
Y eu non sei como, nin por onde, sempre
Se lles atopa un fero.
Y o ceo e Dios ben saben
Non teño a culpa d’eso;
¡Ay! sin querelo, têna,
O lastimado corazon enfermo.
