Adaptation of the lyrics: Carlos and Fran Amil

Avilés de Taramancos, from Taramancos, Boa (Noia, A Coruña), the tavern keeper of the word, is a prolific poet who drinks from the purest source of life.
I already wanted to sing a love song, and Avilés entertains us with this beautiful, furtive and fugitive longing, honey from a blooming rose bush full of thorns and aromas.

| Chamo á porta do amor na noite escura | I knock on the door of love in the dark night |
| e está o teu corazón coa luz prendida. | and your heart is with the light on. |
| A túa man socórreme a ferida | Your hand heals my wound |
| e cúrame o teu labio a desventura. | and your lip cures misfortune. |
| Dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | You give me life and you give me burial |
| E dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | And you give me life and you give me burial |
| A auga que me dás tan fresca e pura | The water you give me so fresh and pure |
| é da fonte limpísima da vida: | It is from the purest source of life: |
| mel da túa roseira florescida | honey from your flowered rosebush |
| entre as coxas, as sedas, a espesura… | between the thighs, the silks, the thickness… |
| Dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | You give me life and you give me burial |
| E dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | And you give me life and you give me burial |
| Pois xa por sempre irei de ti cautivo | Well, I will go from you captive forever |
| pois dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | Well, you give me life and you give me burial |
| dun amor imposíbel e furtivo. | of an impossible and furtive love. |
| Pois dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | Well, you give me life and you give me burial |
| E dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | And you give me life and you give me burial |
| Como me doe a túa fermosura | How your beauty hurts me |
| da que devezo e ando fuxitivo | from which I desire and I’m fugitive |
| pois sei que o mal que teño non ten cura! | Well, I know that the illness I have has no cure! |
| Pois dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura | Well, you give me life and you give me burial |
| E dasme a vida e dasme a sepultura. | And you give me life and you give me burial |
