(Canción Milonga, cantiga y foliada)
Gallego, de nombre gallego
junta dinero y parece un dotor.
Gallego, cabeza de hormiga,
junta fatigas en el corazón.
"Polo mar abaicho va
una troita de pe
corre que te corre, quein la pudera coller
quein la pudera coller, quein la pudera coller
Polo mar abaicho va una troita de pe."*
Gallego, cachila y sombrero
sos extranjero tanto como yo.
Manolo, no te sientas solo
suda a su modo tu humilde sudor.
"Túa mai nou tein e teu pai
non cho da, e de donde te zai de tu trailalalá
de tu trailalalá, de tu trailalalá túa mai nou nou
tein e teu pai non cho da."*
Gallego, duro compañero
no hay bolichero que cante mejor
las rías que amó Rosalía
cantan folías y son para vos.
Te juego un truco y te gano, Manolito.**
*: Fonético.
**: Alocución final, no cantada.
(La puntuación, la ortografía y la versificación son de Alfredo Zitarrosa)
