Original text (in Galician):

Chove en Santiago
meu doce amor
camelia branca do ar
brila entebrecida ao sol.
Chove en Santiago
na noite escura.
Herbas de prata e sono
cobren a valeira lúa.
Olla a choiva pola rúa
laio de pedra e cristal.
Olla no vento esvaido
soma e cinza do teu mar.
Soma e cinza do teu mar
Santiago, lonxe do sol;
agoa da mañan anterga
trema no meu corazón.

English translation:

It's raining in Santiago
my sweet love
white camellia of the air
is shining dim in the sun
It's raining in Santiago
In the dark night
Herbs of silver and sleep
are covering the empty moon.
Listen to the rain in the street
lament of stone and crystal.
Listen in the fading wind
shore and ashes of your sea.
shore and ashes of your sea,
Santiago, far away from the sun;
water of the old morning
is trembling in my heart.

Added pictures of Santiago de Compostela were taken from the Web.

[mitologia]

The original Lead Singer of Luar Na Lubre is Rosa Cedron

[RoberCamb]

Sara Vidal es una cantante muy buena. Impresionante. De Luar na Lubre qué decir... geniales. Pero la ausencia de Rosa Cedrón no la podrá llenar nadie. Siempre será la voz por excelencia de Luar na Lubre...
