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.
Meses d’o inverno frios
Qu’eu amo a todo amar,
Meses d’os fartos rios
Y o doce amor d’o lar.
Meses d’as tempestades,
Imaxen d’a delor,
Que afrixe as mocedades
Y as vidas corta en frol.
Chegade, e tras d’outono
Que as follas fai caer,
N’elas deixá que o sono
Eu durma d’o non ser.
E cando o sol fermoso
D’abril torne á sorrir,
Que alume o meu reposo,
Xa non o meu sofrir.
