Translation:Ondas do mar de vigo

From Wikisource
Ondas do mar de vigo (13th century)
by Martín Codax, translated from Galician by Wikisource

This is a "cantiga d'amigo" (friend song) recorded in the Pergaminho Vindel (Vindel parchment) which was discovered in 1913 by the Madrid-based antiquarian bookseller and bibliophile Pedro Vindel. The full document, with transcriptions of the Galician text, was published by Vindel in Las siete canciones de amor, Madrid (1915).

Waves of the sea of Vigo
do you see my friend?
and ah God, to see [him] soon.

Waves of the risen sea
do you see my beloved?
and ah God, to see [him] soon.

Do you see my friend
the one for whom I sigh?
and ah God, to see [him] soon.

Do you see my beloved
for whom I care greatly?
and ah God, to see [him] soon.

Ondas do mar de uigo
se uistes meu amigo
e ay deus se uerra cedo.

Ondas do mar leuado
se uistes meu amado
e ay deus se uerra cedo.

Se uistes meu amigo
e por que eu sospiro
e ay deus se uerra cedo.

Se uistes meu amado
e porque ei gran coidado
e ay deus se uerra cedo.
