Ai Santiago, padron sabido, vos m' adugades o meu amigo! Sobre mar ven quen frores d' amor ten, mirarei, madre, as torres de Geen. Ai Santiago, padron provado, vos m' adugades o meu amado! Sobre mar ven quen frores d' amor ten, mirarei, madre, as torres de Geen. |
O St James, you well-known patron, serve as guide for my true sweetheart! From the sea he brings love's flowers, I'll watch, mother, at the towers. O St James, you proven patron, serve as guide for my true lover! From the sea he brings love's flowers, I'll watch, mother, at the towers. |
