   • 1843, anonymous author, Cambados, 1836:

     è s’os crègos non se meten
     n’o demòntre d’a’ncaldada
     è o abade c’o seu tòrgo
     fort’e recio non lles fala
     d’irs’a jantar o’utro mundo
     iban ja lovando trazas.

     and if it wasn't for the priests,
     who stopped that hell of a broth,
     and the abbot with his voice,
     strong and firm, didn't speak with them,
     going to have lunch to the other world
     those people were giving clues
