      Alá no ceo do que manda
      hai un ollo mui fiteiro
      que colle de banda a banda
      e ve todo mundo inteiro;
      nunca dorme nin se randa,
      non deixa can tras palleiro
      e sabe a falcatruada
      do principio ó derradeiro.
      Up there in heaven, Boss'
      watchful eye
      from top to bottom
      sees the whole world;
      He never sleeps or gets tired,
      He inspects all thoroughly
      and knows the wrongdoing
      A to Z.
