- 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 dwellers of the mountains;
  give yourselves congratulations
  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!

parabéns!

congratulations!
