by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Noiturnio do adoescente morto
Language: Galician 
Imos silandeiros orela do vado
pra ver ô adolescente afogado.

Imos silandeiros veiriña do ar,
antes que ise río o leve pro mar.

Súa i-alma choraba, ferida e pequena
embaixo os arumes de pinos e d'herbas.

Agoa despenada baixaba da lúa
cobrindo de lirios a montana núa.

O vento deixaba camelias de soma
na lumieira murcha da súa triste boca.

¡Vinde mozos loiros do monte e do prado
pra ver o adoescente afogado!

¡Vinde xente escura do cume e do val
antes que ise río o leve pro mar!

O leve pro mar de curtiñas brancas
onde van e vên vellos bois de ágoa.

¡Ay, cómo cantaban os albres do Sil
sobre a verde lúa, coma un tamboril!

¡Mozos, imos, vinde, aixiña, chegar
porque xa ise río m'o leva pra o mar!
