      As lançadas que nos tiran
      os que benden
      que os ollos sacar pretenden
      todo para lebar fora
      A malizia neles mora
      qu'este e o trato en que se entenden
      the lances they throw at us
      the ones selling
      they want to gouge our eyes
      for taking all away
      Malice dwells inside them
      this is the deal they understand
