como que incha a ollos vistos,
Pro, si incha, non estoura;
como o pelexo enteirizo
da castaña agüenta e fofa
pra levála o enemincho;
Cando máis, si algo rebenta,
e arregaña, é o ourizo,
pra guindar limpa a castaña
e roer fruto tan rico- The thing grows at every time,
as it swells in plain sight,
but, although it swells, it does not burst;
as the one-piece peel
of the soft watery chestnuts
you take to an enemy;
at most, if something pops
and cracks is the burr,
to throw clean the chestnut
and nibble such a rich fruit
- The thing grows at every time,
- (transitive) to corrode
