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.

PASADE

Brila’rayo d’aurora,

Cal un sono de paz branco e purisimo,

¿Á aquel que naceu cego que ll’importa

O teu fulgor divino?

Xemí serenas ondas

C’o romor d’os pinares,

Músicas ¡ay! e cantos y armonías

Par’un xordo ¿que valen?

¡Pasá!... pasade hermosas,

Feitizo d’os qu’esperan e d’os qu’aman;

Amores e praceres son mentira

Pra quen ten seca a yalma.
