Cantiga da Ribeirinha (also known as Cantiga da Garvaia or Cantiga da Guarvaia) is one of the first known pieces of literature in Galician-Portuguese[ citation needed]. The poem's date of composition is debated, with some experts placing it in 1189[ citation needed] or 1198[ citation needed], and others claiming it could not have been written before 1200[ citation needed]. It was composed by Paio Soares de Taveirós[ citation needed] and received its name because it was dedicated to Maria Pais Ribeira, the mistress of Sancho I of Portugal[ citation needed], known as "Ribeirinha."[ citation needed]
Using the male I-lyric[ clarification needed], the text tells of a platonic love between a poet of low station and a noble and unattainable woman. Although considered a love tune, it is sometimes interpreted instead as a song of derision or slander[ citation needed]. Some experts believe that the poem is incomplete, and originally comprised three stanzas, with one having been lost[ citation needed]. A recent hypothesis[ citation needed] contests the poem's authorship, attributing it instead to Martim Soares de Baguim.
No mundo non me sei parelha,
mentre me for' como me vai,
ca ja moiro por vós - e ai!
mia senhor branca e vermelha,
Queredes que vos retraia
quando vos eu vi em saia!
Mao dia me levantei,
que vos enton non vi fea!
E, mia senhor, des aquelha
me foi a mi mui mal di'ai!
E vós, filha de don Paai
Moniz, e ben vos semelha
d'haver eu por vós guarvaia,
pois eu, mia senhor, d'alfaia
nunca de vós ouve nen hei
valía dũa correa.
No mundo não conheço quem se compare |
In the world I know no one like me, |
