Ceiño da miña Aldea
Language: Galician
Ceiño da miña aldea
non te enloites de pesar,
guinda as mortaxas do inverno
e viste as galas do vran.
E certo que vou pra lonxe,
pero a tua craridá
guardadiña nos meus ollos
conmigo vai!
Non chores, nena, non chores,
que non tes por qué chorar:
O va cariño e unha pomba
que sempre volve ó pombal.
E certo que vou pra lonxe,
pero do peito no altar
lua imaxen adourada
conmigo vai!

Sky of my village
Language: English after the Galician
Sky of my village
do not mourn in sadness,
cast away the shrouds of winter
and wear your summer attire.
Sure, I am going far away,
but your brightness,
preserved in my eyes,
is coming with me!
Do not weep, girl, do not weep,
you have nothing to weep about.
Love is like a dove
that always returns to the dovecote.
Sure, I am going far away,
but, in the altar of my breast,
your dear image
is coming with me!
