** 1842, Juan Manuel Pintos, Meu querido pai:As nosas mulleres Subamos de prezo Que, ê muito travallo È dor mui doente Botar á este mundo Hum miniño inteiro. Com’elas s’estrican, Cómo se escrequenan Como dan gemidos Choros è lamentos, Como à côr do rostro Toda van perdendo È agre bocado Qu’a calquer pon medo.Our women's price we should rise because it is hard work and aching pain to throw to this world a whole baby. How they stretch, how they crouch, How they wail, cry and lament, How the face colour they lose entirely. It's a sour mouthful that makes anyone scared.
