Original text and translations

Galician text Do mar pola orela mireina pasar na frente unha estrela, no bico un cantar. E vina tan sola na noite sin fin que inda recéi pola probe da tola eu, ¡que non teño quen rece por min! A musa dos pobos que vin pasar eu, comesta dos lobos, comesta morreu. Os ósos son dela, que vades gardar. ¡Ai, dos que levan na frente unha estrela! ¡Ai, dos que levan no bico un cantar!

Portuguese text Do mar pela orla mirei-a passar na frente uma estrela, no bico um cantar. E vi-a tão só na noite sem fim que inda rezei pela pobre da tola eu, que não tenho quem reze por mim! A musa dos povos que vi passar eu, comida pelos lobos, comida morreu. Os ossos são dela, que vades guardar. Ai, dos que levam na frente uma estrela! Ai, dos que levam no bico um cantar!

English translation By the seashore I watched as she passed along with a star on her forehead, on her lips a song. And I saw her so lonely in the endless night that I even prayed for the poor silly woman I, who have no one to pray for me! The muse of the peoples that I saw go by, she was food for the wolves, consumed, she did die. Of her the bones are that with you will belong. Woe to those that wear on their forehead a star! Woe to those that bear on their lips a song!
