Oh my little accordion playerAi meu gaiteriño
I still rememberAinda me acordo
When you came down the mountainCando baixabas polo monte abaixo
And you came to me sayingE viñasme ti dicindo

Put meat in the pot, little MaryBota carne no pote, marianiña
Put meat in the pot, MaryBota carne no pote, marianá
A whole loaf. WrappedUn molete enteiro. Enservelletado
A boot with wine, drink itUnha bota con viño, chupáená

Woman, abundance of struggleMuller, fartura de loitar
What can I tell you, woman?Qué che hei decire eu, muller?
If you are like our landSe ti és coma a terra nosa
And the land is like you!E a terra é coma ti é!

I leave you both aloneDeixeivos a entrambas soias
Although I stayed with youAnque convosco quedei
The land is empty, warmValeira está a terra, morna
You, sown, abandoned. (repeat)Ti, sementada, abofé. (bis)

And the wind saidE o vento decía
Soon you will return!Pronto hai de volver!
To take away the hunger, to be able to eatPra tira-la fame, pra poder comer

Oh, woman, how many nightsAi, muller, cántas noitiñas
Did you lie down with sadness?Te deitaches coa tristura?
And the wind still brought youE o vento, ainda che traguía
The news of those who murmurAs novas dos que marmuran

And the wind saidE o vento decía
Soon I will returnPronto hei de volver

You are the miracle of the landTi és o milagre da terra
And the land is a miracle of yoursE, a terra é un milagre teu
Mixture of honey and waxMistura de mel e cerna
Of beast and angel from heavenDe fera e de anxo do ceo

You gave birth to the child standingPariches de pé o fillo
As beasts do in their mindsComo fan no mente as bestas
And today that I return defeatedE hoxe que volto vencido
For me to win, you lie downPara que eu venza ti te deitas

To return, what can I say?O voltar, qué che hei decir?
Cursed be the day and the hourMaldito o día e a hora
That I left you hereEn que te deixei aquí
To seek life elsewherePra percurar vida fora

The winter of emigrationO inverno da emigración
Stole our springRoubóunos a primavera
Who I was, I am no longerQuén eu era, xa non son
And you are not who you wereE ti non és a que eras

The fields can now giveXa poden os leiros dar
Very abundant harvestsColleitas ben abondosas
They can talk in MadridPoden en madrí falar
With very beautiful wordsCon palabras ben fermosas
That will never pay usQue nunca nos han de pagar
Our hunger of the past!A nosa fame de outrora!

And the wind saidE o vento decía
Soon I will returnPronto hei de volver
To take away the hungerPra tira-la fame
To be able to eatPra poder comer
