Summary/Abstract: Even though the cantiga de amigo is an emblematic element of Galician-Portuguese poetry, and we even have several translations of songs belonging to this genre in the Polish language, they remain quite poorly studied, and their picture is sometimes greatly simplified. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to those songs about a lover that contain satirical-humorous elements, to propose some changes in their genological classification, and to draw attention to theheterogeneous nature of the love lyric of Galician troubadours. The article is accompaniedby poetic and philological translations of Galician-Portuguese songsnever translated into Polish.
