O lume novo


                O lume novo os galegos o fan


                                       a noite de San Xán.


                                       Encenden as fogueiras

                                       n,as ruas e no monte

                                       e quedan soias as lareiras

                                       das vilas e das aldeas.


                                        O lume novo os galegos o fan

                                       a noite de San Xán.

                                       E canto mais aldean

                                       o lume novo medra mais.

 
                                       Brincan os rapaces

                                       por riba do lume

                                       sin medo de queimarse

                                       nin d,afogar co fume.


                                       Queiman palla e queiman toxo,

                                       queiman cueiros e paos,

                                       pra encender o lume novo.

                                       E sorrí San Xán

                                       dend,as estrelas

                                       vendo o lume novo que lle fan.


                                       O lume novo arde

                                       a noite de San Xán

                                       e solo quedan cinzas

                                       po-l-a mañá.


                                       Pro ano haberá outro palleiro

                                       e outro toxal,

                                       e mais paos que queimar

                                       no lume novo que fan

                                       os galegos sempre sempre

                                       a noite de San Xán.

 
                                       San Xán sorrí

                                       sorrí San Xán,

                                       a noite sua

                                       mirando o chan.
