- Nasín cand'as prantas nasen,
no mes das froles nasín,
nunh'alborada mainiña,
nunh'alborada d'abril;
Por eso me chaman Rosa,
mais a do triste sorrir,
con espiñas para todos,
sin ningunha para ti;
Desque te quixen, ingrato,
tod'acabou para min,- I was born when plants do
in the month of flowers I was born
at a tranquil dawn
at an april's dawn;
That's why they calle me Rose,
but of the sad smile,
having thorns for everyone
but for you;
Since I love you, ungrateful,
everything ended for me
- I was born when plants do

Co máis ardente antusiasmo
Tocando unha muiñeiriña
Un valse repenicado
Unha alegre salerosa
Unh'alborada ou fandango- Bagpipe and tabor
With the most ardent enthusiasm
Playing a muiñeira,
an allegro waltz,
a jovial salerosa,
an alborada or a fandango
- Bagpipe and tabor
