“Poucos terán boas lembranzas do ano que se foi, porque escomenzou mal e non poido acabar⟳ pior. O inverno foi crúo, a primadeira esmorecida e chuviosa, o vrau abafante, o outono desleigado. Día por⟳ día pasáro-no contando os seus traballos e coitas os labregos, agardando pola súa redención os que viven escravos dos caciques d'aldea, pensando na súa terriña os emigrantes que morren lonxe dela, aduanando falcatruadas os que trunfan e medran á conta dos máis”

Few people will have good memories of last year, because it started badly and couldn't have ended worse: winter was harsh, spring rainy and faint, summer stifling, autumn sloppy. Day after day, the peasant spent their time telling about their troubles and disgraces, waiting for their redemption the ones who live enslaved by village tyrants, longing their land the emigrants who die far away from her, plotting frauds those who trump and grow at the expense of others.

“Antes de rubir⟳ ó puleiro, non fan máis que cacarexar⟳ qu'han facer⟳ i acontecer⟳, pro non se ve outra cousa dempois máis qu'os benfeitos que reciben tódo-los que teñen a sorte de ll'axudar nas falcatrúas, pr'amocar ós que non son do pau, e nas trécolas pra conquerir sona co cacique maor, que dende Madril diuta disposiciós d'intrés particolar prós seus nagocios.”

(the councillors) before climbing onto the perch do nothing but cackle about what they'll do and what will be, but then you don't see anything other than the benefits received by all who have the fortune to help them in their frauds, to pester those who don't belong to the same suit, and the tricks to gain fame with the great cacique, who from Madrid dictates dispositions of particular interest for his own business.

“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
