      Endemal! non falás rouco,
      mais eu à tanto desfacho,
      (como dixo ô ôutro) a macho
      que hè lerdo, arrieiro louco.
      Por moito que eu malle, hè pouco;
      que a quen do principio aò cabo,
      sin fazer caso do crabo,
      tàs peras tira meu frade,
      conven (xiquera à semade)
      que lle zorreguen ô rabo.
      Alas! you don't speak rough,

      as they say, to dumb mule,
      mad muleteer.
      No matter how much I strike, is not enough;
      because to whom, beginning to end,
      not paying attention to the nail,
      your pears drop, my friar,
      it is advisable (at least summarily)
      that they whip their tail
