- 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.

- to temper
