by Rosalia de Castro (1837 - 1885)

Quen casa ten de seu, ten media vida
Language: Galician 
-- Quen casa ten de seu, ten media vida.
Unhas telliñas para nos crubir,
catro paus que ardan na lareira nosa,
¡e a traballar sin fin!
¡Valor, valor! I espera, desdichado,
mentras teñas aquí
unhas paredes tristes e desnudas
mais que herdache, infeliz,
e das que naide despoxarte pode.
¿Naide?... a miseria si.
