Un home, San Antonio!
Language: Galician
San Antonio bendito, Dádeme un home, Anque me mate, Anque m' esfole. Meu Santo San Antonio, Daime un homiño, Anqu'ó tamaño teña D'un gran de millo. Daimo, meu Santo, Anqu'os pés teña coxos, Mancos os brazos. Unha muller sin home... ¡Santo bendito! E corpiño sin alma, Festa sin trigo. Pau viradoiro, Qu' onda queira que vaya, Troncho que troncho. Mais en tend' un homiño, ¡Virxe do Carme! Non hay mundo que chegue Para un folgarse. Que zamb' ou trenco, Sempr' é bó ter un home Para un remedio!
