“Ora en ti penso disperto, / ora en ti penso durmindo, / e sempre en ti estou pensando / coma si foses feitiço; Seique meigallo me deche / na festa do San Martiño, / amasado cos teus dedos / nunha bola de pantrigo”

I think about you while awake, I think about you while sleeping; I'm always thinking about you as if it was witchery; I think that you gave me an enchantment, in the fair of Saint Martin, kneaded with you hands inside a ball of wheat bread

“Calquer pensara que un meigallo se lle meteu no corpo, ó ver como cambeou de súpeto. Esborrouse da súa boca a sonrisa pracenteira, fuxiu dos ollos o mirar churruscandeiro, velado agora por humedeceres de bágoas”

Anyone would think that she was under a spell [that a meigallo entered her body] seeing how she changed overnight: the pleasant smile fade from her mouth and the burning looks fled from her eyes, clouded by the wetness of the tears
