Quero ver o mar!

dun pobo ancestral.

Keepsake Mill

Over the borders, a sin without pardon,
Breaking the branches and crawling below,
Out through the breach in the wall of the garden,
Down by the banks of the river we go.

Here is a mill with the humming of thunder,
Here is the weir with the wonder of foam,
Here is the sluice with the race running under--
Marvellous places, though handy to home!

Sounds of the village grow stiller and stiller,
Stiller the note of the birds on the hill;
Dusty and dim are the eyes of the miller,
Deaf are his ears with the moil of the mill.

Years may go by, and the wheel in the river
Wheel as it wheels for us, children, to-day,
Wheel and keep roaring and foaming for ever
Long after all of the boys are away.

Home for the Indies and home from the ocean,
Heroes and soldiers we all will come home;
Still we shall find the old mill wheel in motion,
Turning and churning that river to foam.

You with the bean that I gave when we quarrelled,
I with your marble of Saturday last,
Honoured and old and all gaily apparelled,
Here we shall meet and remember the past.

Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses, 1885.

Moe, moe, muiñeira
coa túa fábrica de gas
to es a mellor moza
que pola rúa vas.

Que pola rúa vas
moe, moe, muiñeira
coa túa fábrica de gas.

Fun ó muíño do meu compadre,
fun polo vento e vin polo aire,
parece cousa de encantamento,
ir polo aire e vir polo vento.

Tiene esta feligresía de San Julián veinte y dos feligreses. De dos partes en que se deviden los fructos lleba el rector la una y un dezmero y los diezmos del pescado y primicias y el iglesario, que todo valdrá cinquenta ducados, la otra pertenece al monasterio de San Martín, cuya es la presentación. La fábrica tiene de renta carga y media de mijo.
