   • 1842, Juan Manuel Pintos, Meu querido pai:

     Meu querido Pai
     Non s’azañe prego
     S’esta carta escribo
     Posta nestes versos:
     Nin tome cabuxo
     S’ô castellan deixo
     Por falar na fala
     Dos nosos galegos,
     Qu’inda nela podo
     Sin poñer un erro
     Espricar bem craro
     Tod’os meus conceutos.

     My beloved father
     I ask you not to anger
     if this letter I write
     put into these verses
     neither get upset
     if Castilian I left
     to speak the tongue
     of our Galicians,
     because in it I can,
     without making a mistake,
     explain crystal clear
     all of my concepts.
