   • 1814, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Romance:

     Repinicáde o pandeiro,
     Nenas dos portos de mar;
     Para tocálo Rianxo
     E a Avia para bailar.
     O Miño tempére a gaita,
     Anque marre o brencellau;
     E mais que non quede pinga,
     Xarro tras xarro e brindár.
     Os barrosos e pardiños,
     Xuro a brios, que an de danzar,
     Sin que o estorven as cadrillas
     Dos valentes Roquetaus.

     Ring your tambourine,
     girls from the sea harbours;
     [best] at playing it, Rianxo;
     the land of Avia, at dancing.
     Let the Miño tune the bagpipe,
     even if the good wine is not enough;
     Do not leave a drop,
     pitcher after pitcher and toast.
     Highlanders and lowlanders,
     I swear they ought to dance,
     no fault on the teams
     of the valiant people of Lemos.
