Ay madre, nunca mal sentiu
Language: Galician
Ay madre, nunca mal sentiu
nem soubi que x'era pesar
a que seu amigo nom vyu
com'oj'eu vy o meu falar
com outra; mays poyl-o eu vi
com pesar ouv'a morrer hy.
E sse molher ouve d'aver
sabor d'amig'ou lh'o deus deu,
sey eu que lh'o nom fez veer
com'a mi fez veel-o meu
com outra; mays poyl-o eu vi
com pesar ouv'a morrer hy.
