by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Ay ruada, ruada, ruada
Language: Galician 
¡Ay ruada, ruada, ruada
da Virxen pequena
e a súa barca!

A Virxen era pequena
e a súa coroa de prata.
Marelos os catro bois
que no seu carro a levaban.

Pombas de vidro traguían
a choiva pol-a montana.
Mortos e mortos de néboa
pol-as congostroas chegaban.

¡Virxen, deixa a túa cariña
nos doces ollos das vacas
e leva sobr'o teu manto
as foles da amortallada!

Pol-a testa de Galicia
xa ven salaiando a i-alba.
A Virxen mira pra o mar
dend'a porta da súa casa.

¡Ay ruada, ruada, ruada
da Virxen pequena
e a súa barca!
