    • 1753, Diego Antonio Cernadas y Castro, Mingotiña, si está alá:
      Mingotiña, si està alà
      nà tua man ô Pandeiro,
      fais de conta, que ô punteiro,
      è ò fol da gaita està acà:
      à foliada andarà,
      mais con esa girigaita
      non magines, que se engaita
      ô mundo, que è gran fistol,
      è vè, què te ris do fol
      para donde ronca â Gaita.
      Mingotiña, if the tambourine
      is there in your hand,
      take into account that the chanter
      and the bag of the bagpipe are here:
      the parade will walk,
      but with this racket
      don't imagine that the world,
      who is a great swindler, is tricked,
      and see, you laugh at the bag
      at the direction the bagpipe is roaring.
