Xexus el Ñazarenu, Jesucristo.—Hace un mamplenáu de años, cuando yo andaba por las fiestas y romerías de toda mi querida Tierrina vendiendo pequeños libros escritos en mi incipiente astur, llevaba un pequeño coche y encima un altavoz, con el cual entraba en las romerías tocando gaitadas por mediación de cintas, lo que nunca me han gustado eran las asturianadas aunque algunas las admitía, y todo era porque su letra no estaba en astur, por esta razón yo hice unos poemas en llingua astur y los grave en una cinta cantándolos a mi manera, recuerdo que un día en Villaviciosa, estando cantándolos el altavoz de mi coche mientras que yo al lado de él esperaba que los amantes de sus raíces me compraran algún librín, que valían a diez pesetas, se acercó a mí un indianu, quiero decir un astur que estaba en las Américas, y me preguntó donde podía comprar aquella cinta, yo le contesté que en ninguna parte porque aquella cinta la había hecho yo, me preguntó que si se la vendía, y yo le dije que lo único que podía hacer era ir a comprar una cinta vacía y que se la grabaría igual, o que si tenía magnetofón, que yo podía ir con él de juerga, fartucanus de xidre y que yo le cantarta de mi cosecha todas las canciones que quisiera, no parecía encontrarse bien de salud, por esto quiso más que yo le grabase una, tal cosa hice aquel mismo día y el buen Indianu astur intentó por todos los medios pagarme largamente aquel insignificante obsequio, y que le contesté que bien pagado quedaria, si fuese por el mundo adelante pregonando por donde anduviera, que nuestra Tierrina era la más Noble e Hidalga, la más encantadora y dulce, la más Embrujante y Divina, de cuantas tierras el Hacedor hubiera hecho en todo el Universo. Una de las canciones que la cinta tenía, cantada con tono y música de mi propio vidayu era ésta: "XEXUS DE ÑAZARENU" —Achá lonxe trés les cumes a la llúz del entestate, nuna corte de pastores, nun tenáu d'una teixá, ou cuauquıer outre chugar, bétchou la Vírxen María a Xexús de Ñazarenu. —Parióu la Xanta muyer d'enría 'l mesmu murgazu, ou payes ou oitres yerbatus, aquecha mucher parióu, lu mesmu que lu fan oitras, ameruxá d'allegría y amamplená pel dollor. —Choróu 'l nenu 'l ñacer comu tou guaxín lu fáe, allegre riyú la Virxén, fellíz féxulu Xoxé, a xuntus llimpien al nenu que tan probe s'allumbróu, chegandu allumbrayu tóu. —La pobre Muyer dondada per l'allegría yal dollor, per ser la Má d'aquel Nenu dou rellucía l'amor, cleldóuxe mu canxadina nel durmir xoxegadina. nus xuenus del Faidor. —Durmióu la Vírxen fellíz naquel chugar dou bétchou, d'enría 'l mesmu campíz, ou de payes ou murgazu, apouxandu sou mótchera d'enría 'l curpu 'l sou Home que curiaba con amor. —Les estrétches en sou xeitu yal xillencíu ‘n sou chugar, xin baxu 'l teyáu del Cielu tal mesteríu s'allumbrar, les vaques taben rumiandu xin tal xocexu afrorar, ena corte ou 'l payar. —Xan Xoxé curiaba 'l nenu ya sou Melgueira muyer, metantu qu’el mundiu enteiru nun dexaba sou cheldar, perque naide coñocer, qu'aquel nenu que ñacer yera 'l dios que nus xalvar. —Esgalazáu pe la fame ‘l nenu gulgú chorar, nagua quería 'l guaxín namái qu'el lleiche callentre del entamu la sou Má, Xoxé falaga a la Vírxen ya disdi móu le falar: —Adiespierta miou Xantina qu'l nenín chorandu tar, ya nun chora 'l probitín per dangún amolexar, adiespierta miou Xantina, que paime que ye la fame la que lu fái esbardiar. —Ya mamandu foza 'l nenu pente 'l caldar de sou Má, fellíz ente aquel entamu de muyer afortuná, la Vírxen lu bexuquéa xemáu d’amore Xoxé con curiáu l'afalagar. —Achá lonxe trés les cumes a la llúz del entestate, nuna corte de pastores, nun payar d'una teixá, bétchou la Vírxen María un nenu qu'en Dios Cheldar, ya güéi tóus adurar. —Achá llonxe trés les cumes s'allumbróu la Ñavidá, ñaciú la verdá del Home xuntu con sou LLibertá, afroróu la Nuétchebona que tous lus anus nel Mundiu fae dalgu de Hermaná.
