- Endemal! non falás rouco,
mais eu à tanto desfacho,
(como dixo ô ôutro) a macho
que hè lerdo, arrieiro louco.
Por moito que eu malle, hè pouco;
que a quen do principio aò cabo,
sin fazer caso do crabo,
tàs peras tira meu frade,
conven (xiquera à semade)
que lle zorreguen ô rabo.- Alas! you don't speak rough,
but I, to such impertinence,
as they say, to dumb mule,
mad muleteer.
No matter how much I strike, is not enough;
because to whom, beginning to end,
not paying attention to the nail,
your pears drop, my friar,
it is advisable (at least summarily)
that they whip their tail
