The following is an amazing Galician Love Song:

Amence paseniño nas terras do solpor
As brétemas esváense coas raiolas do sol

Meu amor, meu amor, imos cara o maior
Miña amada, meu ben, imos polas terras do alén

Acariña o silencio e escoita o corazón
Que moitos dos teus soños latexan ao seu son

É tempo de camiño andar e de non esquecer
Que o futuro que ha de vir é o que has de facer

E o sol vai silandeiro deitándose no mare
Facéndonos pequenos con tanta inmensidade

A Rough English Translation:

It is dawning slowly in the lands of the sunset
the -- fade with the first sun rays
My love, my love, we go to face the age
My beloved, my sweetheart we're going through the lands of Alen.
Caress the silence and listen to your heart
Because most of your dreams beat at the same song
And it's time to go across the way
And not to forget the time that will come and what you have to do.
And the sun goes silent, delighting in the sea,
Making us small with so much immensity.
