      víase sin nube algunha o ceo azul, víanse as estreliñas todas pendentes del, alá no medio o carriño e non moi lonxe as tres marías
      You could see, no cloud at all, the blue sky; you could see the stars, all hanging from it; there, in the middle, the Little Dipper and, not that far, the Three Sisters
