Follas Novas 04:11
Ben sei que non hai nada Novo embaixo do ceo Que antes outros pensaron Mesmo o que agora eu penso E ben, ¿para que escribo? E ben, porque así somos Relox que repetimos Eternamente o mesmo Uh, uh, uh Tal como as nubes Que leva o vento Así son as ideas Loucas que eu teño De estrañas feituras De cores incertos Asombran, aclaran O fondo sen fondo do meu pensamento Follas novas Follas novas en branco a comezar Follas novas Follas novas que hoxe queren falar Uh, uh, uh Algúns din: ¡miña terra! Din outros: ¡meu cariño! E este: ¡miñas lembranzas! E aquel: ¡os meus amigos! Todos suspiran, todos Por algún ben perdido Eu só non digo nada Eu só nunca suspiro Follas novas Follas novas en branco a comezar Follas novas Follas novas que hoxe queren falar Que o meu corpo de terra E o meu cansado espírito A onde quer que eu vaia Van comigo Uh, uh, uh Follas novas Follas novas en branco a comezar Follas novas Follas novas que hoxe queren soñar

¿Por Que? 03:15
¿Por que, miña almiña Agora non queres O que antes querías? ¿Por que, pensamento Agora non vives De amantes desexos? ¿Por que? ¿Por que? Eu quero saber ¿Por que? ¿Por que? Eu quero entender ¿Por que, corazón Agora non falas Falares de amor? ¿Por que xa non bates Con doce batido Que calma os pesares? ¿Por que? ¿Por que? Eu quero saber ¿Por que? ¿Por que? Eu quero entender Din que en cada momento hai que amar Non só hai que preguntar E así é que ten que ser Todo muda na vida Eu ben sei a teoría E aínda así quero saber por que ¿Por que? ¿Por que? ¿Por que, meu espírito Agora te humillas Cando eras altivo? ¿Por que, en fin, meu Deus A un tempo me faltan A terra e o ceo? ¿Por que? ¿Por que? Eu quero saber ¿Por que? ¿Por que? Eu quero entender

Lúa descolorida Como cor de ouro pálido Vesme i eu non quixera Me vises de tan alto O espazo que recorres Lévame, caladiña, nun teu raio Astro das almas orfas Lúa descolorida Eu ben sei que n’alumas Tristeza cal a miña Vai contalo ó teu dono E dille que me leve a onde habita Lúa descolorida Mais non lle contes nada Descolorida lúa Pois nin neste nin noutros mundos teréi fortuna Lúa descolorida Se sabes onde a morte Ten a morada escura Dille que corpo e alma Me leven a onde non recorden nunca Nin no mundo en que estou nin nas alturas Lúa descolorida

Paz Desexada 03:16
Paz desexada Pra min, ¿onde está? Quizais n’hei de tela ¡N’a tiven xamais! Sosego, descanso ¿Onde o hei de atopar? Nos mal's que me matan Na dor que me dan ¡Paz! ¡Paz ti es mentira! ¡Paz! ¡Paz! ¡Pra min non a hai! A un batido, outro batido A un-ha dor outra dor Tras d’un olvido, outro olvido Tras d’un amor, outro amor E ao fin de fatiga tanta E de tan diversa sorte A vellez que nos espanta Ou o repousar d’á morte ¡Paz! ¡Paz ti es mentira! ¡Paz! ¡Paz! ¡Pra min non’a hai! Cando era tempo de inverno Pensaba onde estarías Cando era tempo de sol Pensaba onde andarías ¡Agora!... Tan soio penso, Meu ben, ¡se me olvidarías!

After that precious Christmas collaboration in 2019, the combination of Lia Pamina’s delicious voice and Charlie Mysterio’s and Roger Arias’ (OS PEREGRINOS) elegance and inspiration is back, to give us this small, exquisite gem. This limited-edition vinyl Single is inspired by the work of the Galician poet and novelist Rosalía de Castro, where once again folk sounds, Brazilian music, and infinitely exquisite arrangements come together. The singer from Castellón lifts the Galician writer’s words to the heavens, and the result is, yet again, a dream for even the most hard-hearted music lovers.

“Follas Novas” could be used to define what beauty is. It is so simple it’s disarming. Delicate arpeggios, dream-like harmonies, a pristine chorus that perfectly crowns the whole song’s meaning. Which is nothing other than the beautiful idiosyncrasy of living. It is a lucid and magisterial demonstration that when poetry and music come together hand in hand, their association can be as powerful as that of image and sound. But the triumvirate reaches even higher levels with the animated video by Raquel Calvo, who once again makes a statement in sensitivity, esthetic fantasy and creativity. The perfect images for “Follas Novas”. It is impossible to escape the excitement.

“¿Por Qué?” lets itself be seduced by Brazilian rhythms, and clearly the Galician language’s proximity to Portuguese works like magic and takes us right to the other side of the ocean. We could invoke Gal Costa or Elis Regina, with those string arrangements, the chorus, the instrumentation. Exuberant tropicalism. We are talking about OS PEREGRINOS. In their hands, anything is possible.

“Lúa Descolorida” goes back to getting drunk on bossa nova, raising its voice to a moon full of saudade, and also has the stellar collaboration of none other than Ken Stringfellow (THE POSIES, REM). When Román Verdeal comes in on the guitar, Víctor Gacio on the bass, and Ken’s groove on the keyboards, the song opens wonderfully toward its delicious finale. The single wraps things up with “Paz Desexada” that begins with the exotic trumpet of Lucas Rousse and is yet another marvelous exercise in bossa. The warmth and sweetness of the music contrasts with the tragic, metaphysical, beautifully sad lyrics. Like the best Vinicius de Moraes songs. We could, if you want to take that leap though time and space, draw parallels between how the poet from Rio reached the heavens along with his loyal Toquinho and excellent singers like Maria Creuza or Maria Bethânia, and the magic of that alliance that brings the Mediterranean and the Atlantic together.

It is a marvelous release, bathing that universal poet Rosalía de Castro in silk, showing how modern, relevant and malleable her words are.
