How Light Rain Falls

Como Chove Miudiño

How light rain fallsComo chove miudiño
How lightly it fallsComo miudiño chove
How light rain fallsComo chove miudiño
Towards the side of LaíñoPola banda de laíño
Towards the side of LestrovePola banda de lestrove

Mysterious watererMisteriosa regadeira
Fine drizzle settles on the groundFino orballo no chan pousa
With a gentle curveCon feitiña curvadeira
Drenching in the streamRemollando na ribeira
Leaf by leaf, blade by bladeFrol por frol, chousa por chousa

Resembling light gauzeSemellando leve gasa
That the subtle wind movesQue sotil o vento move
Passes in rippling wavesEn frotantes ondas pasa
Refreshing as much as it burnsRefrescando canto abrasa
What the scorching sun touchesO que o sol ardente crobe

What a swollen white sail¡Que inchadiña branca vela
Among the corn runs aloneAntre os millos corre soa
Mysterious pure star!Misteriosa pura estrela!
The wind whispers around herDille o vento en torno dela
Little dove, fly, fly!Palomiña, ¡voa!, ¡voa!

How light rain fallsComo chove miudiño
How lightly it fallsComo miudiño chove
How light rain fallsComo chove miudiño
Towards the side of LaíñoPola banda de laíño
Towards the side of LestrovePola banda de lestrove

How light rain falls¡Como chove miudiño
Through the countryside fields!Polas veigas de campaña!
As the grass dries along the way¡Cal se enxugan de camiño
The herbs of Laíño!Os herbales de laíño!
How the bridge bathes in the sun!¡Como a ponte en sol se baña!

Those born in itOs que son nela nacidos
Those nurtured by itOs que son dela mimados
Far from it are saddenedLonxe dela están doridos
Because they go wounded by lovePorque van de amor feridos
By whom they were breastfedPor quen fono amamantados

For the children the mother criesPolos fillos a nai tira
Deaf, sad, lamentingXorda, triste, plañideira
Whining, crying, and sighingXeme, chora, e mais sospira
And doesn't stop until she sees themE non para, hastra que os mira
Finally arriveBen chegar por derradeira

Poor mother, how much I love you!¡Probe nai, canto te quero!
Mother too, oh, my mother!¡Nai tamén, ¡ai!, da nai miña!
Your ground of love I preferO teu chan de amor prefiero
To all that is great or severeA canto hai grande ou severo
In all the earth togetherEn toda a terra xuntiña

How can I not be seeing now¿Como non si ora estou vendo
In a landscape of silver and rosesNun paisax de prata e rosas
How life has wantedCanto a vida foi querendo
With my eyes stirringCos meus ollos remexendo
Fond memories?Memoriñas cariñosas?
