Morriñas

Sea breezes
Longings and yearnings
A song, a melancholy

Far from you
Dreaming of the day
To return to their beloved land

They say they cry for your absence
Those who once
Went looking for other lands
Seeking another life

They say no one has cried
With more joy
They say those who have returned
Once again to Galicia

They dream for you
Living with the memory
Of that place
When they were young

They talk about you
Wanting to stop time
And their singing
Becomes a muñeira and verse

They say they cry for your absence
Those who once
Went looking for other lands
Seeking another life

They say no one has cried
With more joy
They say those who have returned
Once again to Galicia.
