fire-fly


- noun
- vagalume

EN The fire-flies, too, which sparkled most vividly in the darkest places, now and then startled him, as one of uncommon brightness would stream across his path; and if, by chance, a huge blockhead of a beetle came winging his blundering flight against him, the poor varlet was ready to give up the ghost, with the idea that he was struck with a witch's token.
GL Tamén o sobresaltaban algunha que outra vez os vagalumes, que brillaban con máis intensidade nos lugares escuros, cando un brillo pouco común atravesaba o seu camiño. E se, por casualidade, algún enorme escaravello, que ía voando torpemente, chocaba contra el, o pobre camiñante estaba listo para entrega-la súa alma, pensando que aquel golpe era o maleficio dalgunha meiga.
