It is bythe shore of the sea at Vigo where the amorous encounter as well as the due separation oflovers is to be effected. Its waves are the addressees of the female lover who wonders abouther beloved one: «se vistes mey amigo /e, ai Deus, se verra cedo», or else their role is merely thatof inviting contemplation: «E miraremos las ondas!», although its major function is becoming the location for death. Invocation to the sea is an element in Gallician-Portugueselyrical poetry, and it can be found as well in Raimbaut de Vaqueiras, as well as in some ofAlfonso X’s poems, where water imagery revolves and tells the echoes of its origins in Arabic-Andalusian poetry.
