Si a Candeleira chora, el invierno xa vay fora; si a Candeleira rí, el invierno ta por vir
Language or variety: 
Asturian
Comments: 

Localizado en el Occidente asturiano. Presenta rasgos de tránsito hacia el gallego, como la desaparición de -N- etimológica (VENIRE) en vir. Por otra parte, fora, sin diptongación, podría responder a la exigencia de la rima (con chora), a no ser que se trate de una forma gallega. Cf. Si la Candelera llora, el ivierno fora; si la Candelera rí, el ivierno por vinir.
