   • 1808, anonymous, Un labrador que foi sarxento:

     Salirán cando volvades,

     Para traervos en trunfo

     Con gaitas e con ferreñas,

     Todal as Mozas de rumbo.

     Veredes como se botan

     Todal as Vellas de bruzos

     Para darvos moitos bicos

     Por pés, por pernas, e muslos.

     Cada Escarapela vosa

     Dirán que val un escudo

     E para gardal a casa

     Tanto coma un bon trabuco.

     They'll come out on your return [from the war with the French]

     to bring you in triumph

     with bagpipes and jingles,

     all the girls along the way.

     You'll see how

     all the old ladies lie face down

     To give many kisses

     on your feet, legs and thighs.

     Each one of your cockades

     worths a shield/escudo, they'll say,

     and for guarding the house,

     as much as a blunderbuss
