Deixa que n’esa copa en onde bebes
As dozuras d’a vida
Un-ha gota de fel, un-ha tan soyo
O meu dorido corazon esprima.
Comprenderás estonces
Como abranda a delor as pedras frias,
Anq’abrandar non poida
Almas de ferro e peitos homicidas.
About This Book
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.
