Examples

“Brancellao e Caíño, os pais do viño”

Brancellao and Caíño [grapes are] the wine's parents

“Repinicáde o pandeiro, Nenas dos portos de mar; Para tocálo Rianxo E a Avia para bailar. O Miño tempére a gaita, Anque marre o brencellau; E mais que non quede pinga, Xarro tras xarro e brindár. Os barrosos e pardiños, Xuro a brios, que an de danzar, Sin que o estorven as cadrillas Dos valentes Roquetaus.”

Ring your tambourine, girls from the sea harbours; [best] at playing it, Rianxo; the land of Avia, at dancing. Let the Miño tune the bagpipe, even if the brancellao wine is not enough; Do not leave a drop, pitcher after pitcher and toast. Highlanders and lowlanders, I swear they ought to dance, no fault on the teams of the valiant people of Lemos.
