      E, metido a opositor,
      Chegaba pronto á arcebispo.
      Co’aquel mirar seu mourisco,
      Zampa en vasos cal en figos,
      Ao lado de catro amigos,
      Axiña enxuga un pelexo
      Pereirolo! Holy Christ!
      He's a doctor of drinking
      and, if he would become a candidate,
      soon he'll be archbishop.

      together with four friends,
      in no time he dries a skin
