Polo mar abaixo vai
Polo mar de Redondela
Polo mar abaixo vai
Quen no corazón me leva
Ai la ai la ai la lara la la
Comezaio comezaio
Se o queredes comezare
I o que primeiro comeza
Primeiro ha de acabare
Se che preghuntan mañana
Quen eran os da parranda
Son as mozas de Toutón
Porque nelas nadie manda
Hasta Fornelos de montes
Hasta Fornelos ireie
De Fornelos para arriba
Lagrimas que chorareie

The chorus is a series of nonsense words, likely intended to be a traditional Galician dance refrain. The following verses offer advice on how to begin a task - the person who starts first must finish last. The song then mentions a group of people known as the mozas de Toutón, who cannot be controlled by anyone. Finally, the lyrics mention the town of Fornelos de Montes, and the tears that the singer will cry as they pass through it.
