THE LEGEND OF THE MOUNTAIN OF THE CORUJEIRAS

By The Historian José Hermano Saraiva.

I have to tell you that, at the time, it was a completely different thing. Now, come up here, gory-gums, that it came to Australia, they took over the management of the Country. In the past it had eucalyptus trees were on slopes with a broom of gold, the heather, the heather, the rosemary rescendente, one or the other related with the help of the poor people made bread. Well, the story is this, here, was, well, at that time, there were no trees, we could see the Castle, the Fair, and now the Castle is a jailer of love, which you heard parts of the Track, with a beautiful fair maiden, a fair maiden that all the people loved him, because she has every thing that he had was to take the death of his parents, was said to be in all these countries the wonders of the formusura that let. Our governor also wanted to get to know the girl, and then she took off the uniforms of the facts, and put a few garments from the poor, and it was up to Gaia to ask for help, and the girl was so beautiful, so beautiful that he then and there decided to kidnap her, “ this maid is mine!”. Well, by the middle of the night and found there, each designed, picked up the girl, they put her on a boat and went out there. It's still ultimately tied it in well, pretended to, which was to release the girl to the man, it appeared, therefore, as the angel of salvation, all of this brings us back to a romance of chivalry, but it did lead to the Castle at the Fair, and there lived two very happy. It was love, it was christian, but she was going to teach these people christianity, all was going well, but then the captain had a brother who was a man of heart, hardened, and who do you think that he is the one who's supposed to be the captain, because she thought the evil brother to live with the christian, and that he was here to tell you all the laws of Christ, and that it was a sacrilege. So that's the bad brother to take the Castle, kill the governor, and that he was going to kill the girl. Nice, but it cost him more to kill a maiden, and gave it to the soldier, and said, ” take her to these hills and to put it in because I didn't want to see it more and more.” The soldiers, who knew how much she was a kind-hearted, they didn't have the courage to kill himself, and left it in.

It was here, here in this Mountain, Corujeira, it was right here, right here, if it was feeding off of the fruits of the trees, the berries from the vines, but they do not know who she was, and with a sharp stone retalhou all the way around, all the beauty vanished, it was a terrifying thing, dressed in black, and I was here in the evening, always be kind, treat everyone well, for the healing of the wounds of the traveller, and, to tell you the things that you did to pass. Well, hey, it was the most potent of the Lot of Corujeira, but the worst part is that she says the things that went right. So the poor governor, as they had killed his brother, who thought she was already dead, you heard it here on the witch's mount and, also, here, come, come to listen to it and then to me, that is what is going to happen to you?” and she says to him, “ hey, Look, it's good that here you have come, and I had one thing to say, and I didn't know how you would prevent it, think you, that this evening on your own to the Fair, you will be attacked by an army so vast, so great, so great that you don't have the people to defend themselves! And you are going to kill you! Are you going to die tonight!”. Well, the captain thought, “oh, to talk to the witch, who will be in it!”. And you are going to the Castle, but he has to go to the Castle and from the Fair, and here's to the maiden, who now seemed to be charmed of what it is that you do, sends him to join her, she already had a lot of friends, everybody loved her, all he had to herd cattle, and she stuck a candle in a horn of the bullock, and of the night's proceeds to the Castle, and the governor that this is what you see, you see, that these mountains, it seems that all the mountains are advancing, they are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all of those beams, and then the mayor says, “the witch was right! And now the witch has told him that they were going to kill me, so nothing out of the fighting, it seems he was right!” and he ran away, ran away, and never no one saw him.

The witch quietly enters the castle, was to be a witch, and has continued to be a sweet virgin, that he taught that the people of the good religion, the christian, and it was in this way that, according to legend, the people of the Fair, you have forgotten the qur'an, and began to pray to the one true savior of the World. It has the most episodes in history, I said the basics, but you'll notice that it's a story of the long struggle of the moors with the christians in the difficult time of contact of the two races, and is one of the most interesting stories of the romanceiro of the medieval Portuguese. It has not been studied, you do not have it, I don't know why everybody is talking about the legend of the vila nova de Gaia, a few remind us of this legend in the show. I've mentioned it here, so that's all that you have ever had any sense, I haven't thought about a lot, I don't even know what it is, here I leave you the pros gentlemen, the viewers think about it.>>

NOTE: The Corujeiras stand in the place of Giesteira, city of St. John's to look at.
