   • 1842,Juan Manuel Pintos,Meu querido pai:

     As nosas mulleres
     Subamos de prezo
     Que, ê muito travallo
     È dor mui doente
     Botar á este mundo
     Hum miniño inteiro.
     Com’elas s’estrican,
     Cómo se escrequenan
     Como dan gemidos
     Choros è lamentos,
     Como à côr do rostro
     Toda van perdendo
     Èagrebocado
     Qu’a calquer pon medo.

     Our women's
     price we should rise
     because it is hard work
     and aching pain
     to throw to this world
     a whole baby.
     How they stretch,
     how they crouch,
     How they wail,
     cry and lament,
     How the face colour
     they lose entirely.
     It's asourmouthful
     that makes anyone scared.
