   • 1814, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Romance:

     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 harbours;

     [best] at playing it, Rianxo;

     the land of Avia, at dancing.

     Let the Miño tune the bagpipe,

     even if the good wine is not enough;

     Do not leave a drop,

     pitcher after pitcher and toast.

     Highlanders and lowlanders,

     I swear they ought to dance,

     no fault on the teams

     of the valiant people of Lemos.
