1.	Cantiga 100: Santa María, Strela do día 01:24	lyrics	buy track
Santa María, Strela do día, móstra-nos vía pera Déus e nos guía. Santa María, Strela do día, móstra-nos vía pera Déus e nos guía. Ca veer faze-los errados que perder foran per pecados entender de que mui culpados son; mais per ti son perdõados da ousadía que lles fazía fazer folía mais que non devería. Santa María, Strela do día, móstra-nos vía pera Déus e nos guía.
2.	Cantiga 132: Quen leixar Santa María por outra, fará folía 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Quen leixar Santa María por outra, fará folía. Quen leixar Santa María por outra, fará folía. Quen leixá-la Grorïosa por mollér que seja nada, macar seja mui fremosa e rica e avondada, nen manssa nen amorosa, fará loucura provada, que maior non podería. Quen leixar Santa María por outra, fará folía. Quen leixar Santa María por outra, fará folía. Ca toda a fremosura das outras é nemigalla nen toda sa apostura tanto come ũa palla contra a desta; e dura séu amor e non faz falla, ante crece todavía. Quen leixar Santa María por outra, fará folía. Quen leixar Santa María por outra, fará folía.
3.	Cantiga 166: Como póden per sas culpas os hómes seer contreitos 02:26	lyrics	buy track
Como póden per sas culpas os hómes seer contreitos, assí póden pela Virgen depois seer sãos feitos. Ond' avẽo a un hóme, por pecados que fezéra, que foi tolleito dos nembros dũa door que houvéra, e durou assí cinc' anos que mover-se non podéra, assí havía os nembros todos do córpo maltreitos. Como póden per sas culpas os hómes seer contreitos, assí póden pela Virgen depois seer sãos feitos. Con esta enfermidade atán grande que havía prometeu que, se guarisse, a Salas lógo iría e ũa livra de cera cad' ano ll' oferería; e atán tóste foi são, que non houv' i outros preitos.

about

Here are three of the Cantigas de Santa María, written in the 13th century and traditionally attributed to King Alfonso X El Sabio of Castile (1221-1284). They were written in Medieval Galician, the ancestor of the Galician language currently spoken in Galicia, Spain, closely related to Portuguese. Scholarship has shown that the Cantigas have several different authors from Alfonso X's court.
