Canzón de Cuna Para Rosalia Castro, Morta

Lullaby for Rosalia Castro, Deceased

Canzón de Cuna Para Rosalia Castro, Morta

Get up, my friendÉrgue-te miña amiga
for the roosters are already singing!que xa cantam os galos do dia!
Get up, my love,Érgue-te miña amada,
because the wind moos like a cow!porque o vento muxe coma unha vaca!

The plows come and go,Os arados van e ven,
from Santiago to Baléndende Santiago a Balén
From Belén to SantiagoDende Belén a Santiago
An angel goes on a boatUn anxo vai nun barco
A boat of cold silverUn barco de prata fria
That brings the pain of GaliciaQue traia a door de Galícia
Galicia lying downGalícia deitada a queda
Transfixed by sad herbsTransida de tristes ervas
Herbs that cover your bedErvas que sobren téu leito
And the black fountain of your hairE a negra fonte dos teus cabelos
Your hair goes to the sea,Teus cabelos van à mar,
where the clouds dye their nestonde as nuvens teñem seu nídio pombal

Get up, my friendÉrgue-te miña amiga
for the roosters are already singing!que xa cantam os galos do dia!
Get up, my love,Érgue-te miña amada,
because the wind moos like a cowporque o vento muxe como una vaca
