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.
Abrid’as frescas rosas,
Brilad’os carabeles
D’o seu xardin, os árbores, vestivos
C’as lindas follas verdes.
Parra qu’un tempo sombra nos prestaches
Á cubrirvos de pámpanos volvede.
Natureza fermosa,
A mesma eternamente,
Dill’ôs mortais, de novo ôs loucos dille
¡Qu’eles no mais perecen!
