Examples
“Repinicáde o pandeiro, Nenas dos portos de mar; Para tocálo Rianxo E a Avia para bailar. O Miño tempére a gaita, Anque marre o brencellau; E mais que non quede pinga, Xarro tras xarro e brindár. Os barrosos e pardiños, Xuro a brios, que an de danzar, Sin que o estorven as cadrillas Dos valentes Roquetaus.”
Ring your tambourine, girls from the sea harbors; [best] at playing it, Rianxo; the land of Avia, at dancing. Let the Miño warms the bagpipe, even if the good wine is not enough; Do not leave a drop, pitcher after pitcher and toast. Highlanders and lowlanders, I sweat they ought to dance, no fault on the teams of the valiant people of Lemos.
“este pandeiro que toco por moito que repenique non teñas medo que rache”
this tambourine I play, no matter how much I drum it, have no fear, it won't break, 'cause is made of tyrant skin
