by Rosalia de Castro de Murguía (1837 - 1885)

Cantart' ei, Galicia
Language: Galician 
Choose for Diff
Cantart' ei, Galicia,
teus doçes cantares,
qu'así mô pediron
na veira do mare.

Cantart' ei, Galicia,
na lengua gallega,
consuelo dos males,
alivio das penas.

Mimosa, soave,
sentida, queixosa;
encanta si ríe,
conmove si chora.

Cal ela, ningunha
tan doçe que cante
soidades amargas,
sospiros amantes.

Misterios de tarde,
murmuxos da noite:
cantart' ei, Galicia,
na viera das fontes.
Qu' así mô pediron,
qu'así mô mandaron,
que cante que cantee
na lengua qu' eu falo.
