   • 1814, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Romance:

     Omes do vál, da ribeira,
     E os que na serra morás;
     Dadevos o paraben
     Das novas que vou contár.
     O noso rey, que deixóu
     A Galicia en orfandade,
     E por quen tan nobremente
     España verteu a sangre
     Xá está con nosco... ¡que groria!

     Men of the valley, of the seashore,
     and you who dwell in the mountains;
     congratulate yourselves
     for the news I'm about to tell:
     our King, who left
     Galicia orphaned,
     and for whom so nobly
     Spain shed her blood
     is already among us... Glory!
