Cancións do lume novo


                Eiquí tedes as canciós


                                       do lume novo.

                                       A xente dirá que as escribeu

                                       un tolo.

 
                                       Van adicadas a xente

                                       de Villalba.

                                       E os homes e mulleres

                                       da Chaira.

 
                                       Non sei si falarei

                                       mal ou ben.

                                       Pro a xente da chaira

                                       así fala tamén.


                                       Pode que non vos gusten

                                       as miñas canciós.

                                       Pro eu confesareivos

                                       que n’elas puxen amor.

 
                                       Puxen amor pros novos.

                                       Pros vellos.

                                       Pros nenos.

                                       Puxen amor pras pedras.

                                       Pras terras.

                                       Pros ventos.
 
 
                                       Non vos riades logo

                                       da miña toleeira.

                                       Que si o meu lume é novo

                                       é vella a fogueira.

 
                                       Esa fogueira arde en vosoutros

                                       e en min.

                                       Hai que non-o demostra

                                       e hai quen sí.
