Description
Cantiga 159: The pilgrims and the stolen chop, arranged and sung in English by Ian Pittaway. The original Galician lyric does not specify what type of meat or chop is being referred to. I made it a pork chop because, in reconstructing the original Galician syllable count and rhyme scheme in English, making it so helps the rhythm and rhyme to flow, and brings out the humour of the song.
