Seven Songs for a Beloved in Vigo – V
  • All girls who know what it means to love,
  • come with me to the sea at Vigo,
  • and we'll bathe in the waves.
  • All girls who know what loving means,
  • come with me to the risen sea,
  • and we'll bathe in the waves.
  • Come with me to the sea at Vigo
  • and there we'll see the good friend I love
  • and we'll bathe in the waves.
  • Come with me to the risen sea,
  • and there we'll see the good friend I mean
  • and we'll bathe in the waves.

[English version by Richard Zenith]

Nota geral

A donzela incita agora todas as companheiras enamoradas a irem até à beira do mar de Vigo, onde se banharão. E onde verá o seu amigo.
O banho ritual, sob um olhar masculino, é um momento erótico por excelência, conhecido de todas as sociedades tradicionais (e contemporâneas).
