Galicia has two cooficial languages: Spanish and Galician.
Both are Romance languages.

Let’s make it clear once and for all…

Galicians are said to have a Celtic past, which makes us have traditions also found in other Celtic countries, such as Ireland, Wales or Scotland.

And we also celebrate Samaín, the equivalent of the American Halloween. This tradition originated in Ireland and was first called Samhain.

To finish, let’s sing along a traditional Galician song.
Mind you, some of our songs are not “politically correct”.

Fun á taberna do meu compadre
fun polo vento e vin polo aire (x2)
E como cousa de encantamento
Fun polo aire e vin polo vento (x2)
CHORUS:
E pousa, pousa, pousa
E non me toques naquela cousa
Ai, la, la, la, la
E pousa, pousa axiña
E non me toques naquela cousiña (x2)
Ai, la, la, la, la
Murmuraban as miñas veciñasQue eu andaba co crego nas viñas (x2)Iso e verdade, eu non o negoQue eu andiven ás loitas co crego (x2)
CHORUS
Cando case xa teño un galo
Xa miña nai non mo ten que dalo (x2)
Cando case xa teño un polo
Xa miña nai non me ter que dar todo (x2)
CHORUS
Unha vella de Vilar de Mouros
Fixo da cona unha praza de touros (x2)
E fixo ben, e fixo ben
Na cona da vella non manda ninguen
CHORUS
