1808, anonymous author, Un labrador que foi sarxento:Salirán cando volvades,
Para traervos en trunfo
Con gaitas e con ferreñas,
Todal as Mozas de rumbo.
Veredes como se botan
Todal as Vellas de bruzos
Para darvos moitos bicos
Por pés, por pernas, e muslos.- They'll come out on your return,
for bringing you in triumph
with bagpipes and jingles,
all the girls along the way
You'll see how
all the old ladies lie face down
To give many kisses
on your feet, legs and thighs
