Mia yrmana fremosa (13th century)
by Martín Codax, translated from Galician by Wikisource

This is a "cantiga d'amigo" (friend song) recorded in the Pergaminho Vindel (Vindel parchment) which was discovered in 1913 by the Madrid-based antiquarian bookseller and bibliophile Pedro Vindel. The full document, with transcriptions of the Galician text, was published by Vindel in Las siete canciones de amor, Madrid (1915).
