  Anque à prea non hègrande
  si ca si, ò sacristan
  disque à pestàna do figado
  se lle hiba alegrando já.
  Ô cont'hè, si enturra n'eso
  Deus me libre das suas más,
  que'anque eu non queira, na Coba
  de chantarme heche capàz.
  Although the booty is not large,
  anyhow, the sacristan's
  liver's eyes, reportedly,
  were shinning bright.
  The issue is, if he persists,
  God save me from his hands,
  that even if I don't want, in the grave
  he is capable of thrusting me
(regional) delicious food
(figurative) mean, stupid, or untidy person
Déixao de molestar, non sexas prea!
Stop harassing him, don't be mean!
