Examples

“Costame caro poder co corpo. Non sei cómo hoxe me cansei tanto. Porque traballar traballei máis outros días. É que xa un vai molente. Á forza de tantas o corpo pide papas. Non é miragro. E como así non somos de ferro. E inda o ferro creba tamén para canto máis nós.”

"It's hard for me to carry on with my body. I don't know why today I'm so tired. Because some other days I've worked more. I'm becoming softer. After so many works the body gives up. It's not a miracle: we're not made of Iron. Even iron can break, so much so us."
