lyrics

Ondas do mar de Vigo,
se vistes meu amigo!
E ai, Deus!, se verrá cedo!
Ondas do mar levado,
se vistes meu amado!
E ai Deus!, se verrá cedo!
Se vistes meu amigo,
o por que eu sospiro!
E ai Deus!, se verrá cedo!
Se vistes meu amado,
por que hei gran cuidado!
E ai Deus!, se verrá cedo!

Translation:
Oh flowing waves of Vigo’s bay, have you seen my friend? Oh god, will he soon return?
Oh flowing waves of the swelling sea, have you seen my beloved? Oh god, will he soon return?
Have you seen my friend whom I sigh for? Oh god, will he soon return?
Have you seen my beloved whom I care for deeply? Oh god, will he soon return?
