Original text and translations

Galician text Cava lixeiro, cava, xigante pensamento; cava un fondo burato onde a memoria do pasado enterremos. ¡Á terra cos defuntos! ¡Cava, cava lixeiro! E por lousa daraslle o negro olvido i a nada lle darás por simiterio.

Portuguese translation Cava ligeiro, cava, gigante pensamento; cava um fundo buraco onde a memória do passado enterremos. À terra c'os defuntos! Cava, cava ligeiro! E por lápide, darás-lhe o negro esquecimento e a nada lhe darás por cemitério.

English translation Dig fast, dig, oh giant thought; dig a deep hole where the memory of the past let us bury. To the ground with the cadavers! Dig, dig fast! And for gravestone, you shall give to it dark forgetting and nothing shall you give to it for cemetery.
