nesti mundiu de charranes.
***
ye’l collaciu más lleal
(enxamás va traicionate).
***

***
yo alcúñolu solombra
de les mios pallabres.
he is a discreet friend.
***
he does not like to shine
in this world of charlatans.
***
he is the most loyal friend
(he will never betray you).
***
you call him silence.
***
I call him
shadow of my words.
