Examples
“Eu non pensei, meu Farruco, polo que bos xa sabes, chegar a este Sn Andres, nin oir mais outro cuco: cobrar, quixo o seu trabuco de min coas suas gadañas a morte, mais aunque estrañas boltas medou polas gorxas, gardeime das malas mañas, saquei os pes dàs alforxas. Nas suas estramonias, quixen ò corpo furtarlle, por non morrerme sin darlle, ào meu Patron os seus días: entre as miñas agonias aunque chorava os meus danos, decia entre desengaños mais que eu morra, pois queres, señor, pero ao meu Andres gardaimo por moitos anos”
I didn't believe, my Frank, because of what you already know, that I would arrive to this St. Andrew of that I would ever hear a cuckoo again; she wanted to collect her tax out of me with her scythe, the Death, but although strange turnarounds she made on my throat I guarded against bad trickeries I took my feet out of the saddlebags. In her mischiefs, I wanted to steal my body, so I would not die before congratulating my patron saint for his day: amid my agony even although I cried my aches, I said between disappointments: no matter if I die, since this is your will, Lord, but my Andrew, guard him for many years.
