Zampa en vasos cal en figos,
Ao lado de catro amigos,
Axiña enxuga un pelexo- Pereirolo! Holy Christ!
He's a doctor of drinking
and, if he would become a candidate,
soon he'll be archbishop.
With these Moorish looks of his,

together with four friends,
in no time he dries a skin
- Pereirolo! Holy Christ!
