Lacón Con Grelos

Pork with Turnip Tops

Lacón Con Grelos

Owls, owls, toads, and witchesMouchos, curuxas, sapos e bruxas
Full moon, a cat runningAlúa chea, un gato correndo
Knives, barnacles, a plate of seasoned pork,Navallas, percebes, un plato de zorza,
Orujo cream, what a buzzCrema de oruxo, vaya cogorza

The trash doesn't burn, the girls don't look,O lixo non queima, as mozas non miran,
The night doesn't end, my life changesA noite non troula cambiome de vida
Scallops, spider crabs, and a flaming punchVieiras, centolos e unha queimada
The party in Galicia happens in bedA festa en galiza faise na cama

And from above I see everything blondeE dende a cima vexo loiro enteiro
People drink wine from the riverbankA xente bebe viño do ribeiro
I don't want dust with potatoesEu non quero polvo con cachelos
I just want pork with turnip topsEu só quero un lacón con grelos

The old country woman sang the novenaA vella enxebre cantaba a novena
Rooster sleeping, went to the fairGalo durmindo foise de verbena
Mount of joy, the tropical bagpiperMonte do gozo, o gaiteiro tropical
Coin in the well and the cow in the courtyardMoeda no pozo e a vaca no portal

And let me go up to the maid's roomE deixame subir o cuarto da criada
And let me go up, I won't do anything to herE deixame subir que non lle fago nada
The quarrel on the beach and the horse in the riverA regueifa na praia e o cabalo no rio
Come on, darling, tonight I'm coldVeña maruxiña questa noite teño frio

And from above I see everything blondeE dende a cima vexo loiro enteiro
People drink wine from the riverbankA xente bebe viño do ribeiro
I don't want dust with potatoesEu non quero polvo con cachelos
I just want pork with turnip topsEu só quero un lacón con grelos
