“Agardan xa na Pont'a Valga os rapaces polas mozas; uns con naranxas na man cheas de parromo do forno, outros con fariña triga, da que as nais tiñan gardada pra facer filloas, metida no peto e con xiringas feitas dun cacho de cana i un pau con estopa na punta os máis deles.”

The boys await for the girls at the bridge over the Valga river: some of them with oranges in hand, full of ashes of the oven; others with wheat flour -of the one that the mothers had for making crepes- in the pocket; and most of them with squirt guns made with a piece of cane and a twig with tow at its tip
