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.
Tembra á qu’unha inmensa dicha
Neste mundo te sorprenda;
Grorias, aquí, sobrehumanas
Trân desventuras supremas.
Nin maxines que pasan os dôres
Como pasan os gustos n’a terra;
¡Hay infernos n’a memoria,
Cando n’os hay n’a concencia!
Cal arraigan as edras n’os muros,
N’alguns peitos arraigan as penas,
E un-has van minando a vida
Cal minan outra-l-as pedras.
Si; tembra, cando n’o mundo
Sintas un-ha dicha imensa;
Val mais qu’a tua vida corra
Cal corre a yaugua serena.
