A rianxeira (A Virgem de Guadalupe) lyrics
A Virgem de Guadalupe
Quando veu para Rianxo,
O barquinho que a trouxe
Era de pau de laranjo!
Ondinhas venhem,
Ondinhas venhem e vão...
Nom te embarques, rianxeira,
Que vais te marear!
A Virgem de Guadalupe
Quando vai pola ribeira,
Descalcinha pola areia
Parece umha rianxeira!
Ondinhas venhem,
Ondinhas venhem e vão...
Nom te embarques, rianxeira,
Que vais te marear!
A Virgem de Guadalupe,
Quem a pus tão trigueirinha?
Foi um raínho do sol
Que entrou pola janelinha!
Ondinhas venhem,
Ondinhas venhem e vão...
Nom te embarques, rianxeira,
Que vais te marear!
It would be important to note that the text above has been modified to fit a standard Portuguese grammar and spelling, so as to lessen the original text's very strong Spanish influence; in fact, the text above contains many things that are wrong even by contemporary Galician standards. Still, the differences between both Galician and Portuguese (quite a few of which are artificial, or developed through Spanish influence) can be clearly seen in spite of my best efforts, or what should be correct.
