Morriñas [English translation]

Sea breezes,

nostalgia and homesickness.

A song, a melancholy.

Far away from you,

they dream that the day will come

when they go back to their beloved land.

They say they cry your absence

those who, one day,

went away looking for other lands

looking for a new life

They say that nobody has cried

with more joyfulness;

they say that those who came back

anew to Galicia.

They dream of you,

they live with the memories

of that place,

at the time when they were little.

They talk about you

they want to stop the time,

and their song

becomes "muñeira" and poetry. 2.

They say they cry your absence

those who, one day,

went away looking for other lands

looking for a new life

They say that nobody has cried

with more joyfulness;

they say that those who came back

anew to Galicia.
