“Omes do vál, da ribeira, E os que na serra morás; Dadevos o paraben Das novas que vou contár. O noso rey, que deixóu A Galicia en orfandade, E por quen tan nobremente España verteu a sangre Xá está con nosco... ¡que groria!”

Men of the valley, of the seashore, and you dwellers of the mountains; give yourselves congratulations for the news I'm about to tell: our King, who left Galicia orphaned, and for whom so nobly Spain shed her blood is already among us... Glory!
