- 1775, Diego Antonio Cernadas y Castro, Eu non pensei, meu Farruco:
- Eu non pensei, meu Farruco,
polo que bos xa sabes,
chegar a este Sn Andres,
nin oir mais outro cuco:
cobrar, quixo o seu trabuco
de min coas suas gadañas
a morte, mais aunque estrañas
boltas medou polas gorxas,
gardeime das malas mañas,
saquei os pes dàs alforxas.
Nas suas estramonias,
quixen ò corpo furtarlle,
por non morrerme sin darlle,
ào meu Patron os seus días:
entre as miñas agonias
aunque chorava os meus danos,
decia entre desengaños
mais que eu morra, pois queres,
señor, pero ao meu Andres
gardaimo por moitos anos- I didn't believe, my Frank,
because of what you already know,
that I would arrive to this St. Andrew
of that I would ever hear a cuckoo again;
she wanted to collect her tax
out of me with her scythe,
the Death, but although strange
turnarounds she made on my throat
I guarded against bad trickeries
I took my feet out of the saddlebags.
In her mischiefs,
I wanted to steal my body,
so I would not die
before congratulating my patron saint for his day:
amid my agony
even although I cried my aches,
I said between disappointments:
no matter if I die, since this is your will,
Lord, but my Andrew,
guard him for many years.
- I didn't believe, my Frank,
- (frequently in the plural) annoying behaviour
