Lendas e Narrativas (Tomo II)

Listen as an old jogral begins his tale of D. Diogo Lopes, the restless lord of Biscaia, who spends his days hunting in the wild mountains of 11th‑century Portugal. One crisp morning, while waiting for a boar to emerge, he hears a hauntingly beautiful song from a crag, where a graceful lady perched on the stone greets him. Their flirtatious dialogue weaves promises of lands and riches, but the lady asks the knight to abandon the sign of the cross—a request that unsettles his Christian pride.

Intrigued, Diogo embraces the stranger and rides her back to his castle, only to discover that her delicate feet end in cloven goat hooves. Though the revelation could herald danger, the couple settles into a surprisingly peaceful life, their union marked by whispered warnings and a lingering sense of the uncanny. As the legend unfolds, listeners are left to wonder what price the brave knight might pay for love that defies the ordinary.
