- Por mor de certa rabuxa
pelengrinei por Europa
marexaba vento en popa
pero dixen ¡ai da puxa!
xa lle vin o rabo á cruxa,
ando feito un sapo cuncho
volvome ao patrio corruncho- Because of certain rage
I pilgrimaged along Europe
I was sailing with tailwind
but I said to myself, geez!
I've already seen the owl's tail
and I'm look like a tortoise
I'm getting back to the fatherland's corner
