Quando l’Europa medievale si risvegliò dal sonno latino, il galiziano fu una delle prime lingue europee in cui venne scritta la letteratura. La poesia trovatrice dominava ogni corte dell’Iberia e oltre. Ascolta la stessa canzone della cantante polacca Paulina Ceremużyńska e della cantante galiziana Xosé Quintas-Canellas.

You can read the original poem as well as many, many, many more medieval Galician-Portuguese poems [here](https://cantigas.fcsh.unl.pt/cantiga.asp?cdcant=666&pv=sim).

Here is a map showing where the Galician-Portuguese trobadors came from. Sometimes it is doubtful, because for some poets, we only know the name. As you can see, most poets came from Galicia and the Entre Douro e Minho region of northern Portugal. Portugal was already an independent kingdom.
