Morriña. Del gallego morrinha: S. f. coloq.: Tristeza o melancolía, especialmente la nostalgia de la tierra natal. Sin.: Nostalgia, añoranza, tristeza, pena, melancolía, musepo, melarchía. Eng. Longing, nostalgia, homesickness. Since this most wonderful of words hails from a Galicia badly remembered but never forgotten, I’ve used the first line of the Galician national lament* for a quote. The source of my personal yearning is not for a bygone, nebulously distant native land that possibly never was but for an equally imaginary Trusk-free brave new world. Ah, for that magic button... Or for the prophecy to come to pass: Anda jaleo, jaleo, ya se acabo el alboroto y ahora empieza el tiroteo. (Come on, kick up a stink, kick up a stink. The racket is over And now the shooting begins.) *Os Pinos. Galician national anthem/wail. Here’s a link to it, in case some of you wish to enhance (but on no account “elevate”!; never “elevate”!) your cultural horizons: lyricstranslate.com/en/os-pinos-anthem-galicia-anthem-galicia-pines.html And with music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeEfiuM6LM8 www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrPfMFJvpC0
