Examples

“Salirán cando volvades, Para traervos en trunfo Con gaitas e con ferreñas, Todal as Mozas de rumbo. Veredes como se botan Todal as Vellas de bruzos Para darvos moitos bicos Por pés, por pernas, e muslos. Cada Escarapela vosa Dirán que val un escudo E para gardal a casa Tanto coma un bon trabuco.”

They'll come out on your return [from the war with the French] to bring you in triumph with bagpipes and jingles, all the girls along the way. You'll see how all the old ladies lie face down To give many kisses on your feet, legs and thighs. Each one of your cockades worths a shield/escudo, they'll say, and for guarding the house, as much as a blunderbuss
