“A muller do Serafiño Por unha pinga rabéa, Quérea de cote a probiña, E se non bebe, toléa. Parece un longo varal, tratándose de viño, Gorxa tan ancha ela mostra Com’a canle dun bô muíño. Pro, se non vai por azumbres, Logo dí qu’é pouquiniño.”

Serafin's wife for a drop rages; she wants it all the time, poor thing, and if she doesn't drink she goes mad. She seems a long rod, but when it is about wine, she shows a gorge as wide as the flume of a good mill. But, if it doesn't come by gallons, soon she said that it is too little.
