Translate BEAUTY AND THE BEAST into Galician

Translate BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (these lines) into Galician in such a way that It is "singable" (number of syllables in each line = English - try to keep the rhyme)

Video HERE

Tale as old as time

True as it can be

Barely even friends

Then somebody bends

Unexpectedly

Just a little change

Small to say the least

Both a little scared

Neither one prepared

Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same

Ever a surprise

Ever as before

And ever just as sure

As the sun will rise

Voluntary homework to raise marks for all those students who do not study the subject History of Music and Dance.

You MUST give it to me one week BEFORE the English language exams (deadline, you can do it before that)
