Description

The work opens with a heartfelt tribute to Galicia, where the poet vows to fill its pages with sunlight, harmony, and the tender lullabies of the region’s folk speech. Drawing inspiration from the songs of the countryside and the legacy of earlier Galician poets, she seeks to preserve the natural beauty and simple wisdom of her homeland. The prose itself feels like a melodic chant, inviting listeners to experience the language’s sweet, resonant tones.

Within its verses, the collection celebrates the rolling rivers, misty forests, and humble villages that shape daily life, while also giving voice to the joys, sighs, and quiet struggles of its people. Each poem is rooted in tradition yet sings with a fresh, intimate voice that bridges past and present. Listeners will be drawn into a lyrical landscape where the spirit of Galicia rises, offering both comfort and a subtle call to remember the cultural roots that bind its speakers.
