Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Señor cura, señor cura
A doutrina non lla sei
Pídame unhas cantiguiñas
Pídame unhas cantiguiñas
Que eu llas repinicarei
Moza bonita no mundo
Moza bonita no mundo
Porque fai como a mazá
Porque fai como a mazá
Todos a queren comer
Ser solteiro é boa cousa
Ser solteiro é boa cousa
E ser casado tamén
Deixarei pa' cando morra
Deixarei pa' cando morra
Pensar no que me convén
Por dicir viva san roque
Por dicir viva san roque
Prenderon ó meu irmán
Agora que o soltaron
Agora que o soltaron
Viva san roque e o can
The song Muiñeira De Santo Amaro by Treixadura is a traditional Galician folk song that has been passed down through generations. The lyrics are in Galician language and are about different aspects of life. The first two stanzas are addressed to a priest asking him for some songs to play, and then the singer talks about a beautiful girl who attracts everyone's attention, comparing her to an apple that everyone wants to eat.
The next verse is about the benefits of being single or married, and the singer decides to leave that decision for later, when he dies. The last verse is about the singer's brother being arrested for saying "long live San Roque," which was seen as a rebellious act at the time. The singer ends up saying "Long live San Roque and the dog," which was a code for the resistance movement during the dictatorship of Franco.
