Paroles et traduction Carlos Nunez feat. Noa - A Lavandeira da Noite

A Lavandeira da Noite

Era unha noite de lúa
Era une noite clara,
Eu pasaba polo río
De volta da muiñada.
Topei unha lavandeira
Que lavaba ó par da iauga.
Ela lavaba no río
E unha cántiga cantaba:
- Moza que vés do muíño,
Moza que vas póla estrada,
Axúdame a retorcer
Miña saba lavada.
Desparece a lavandeira
Como fumeira espallada.
Onde as sábanas tendera
Poza de sangre deixara.
Era unha noite de lúa,
Era unha noite clara.

The Night Washerwoman

It was a moonlit night
It was a clear night,
I was passing by the river
On my way back from the mill.
I met a washerwoman
Washing by the riverbank.
She was washing in the river
And singing a song:
- Girl who comes from the mill,
Girl who goes by the road,
Help me wring out
My laundered sheets.
The washerwoman disappears
Like smoke blown away.
Where she had spread the sheets
A pool of blood was left.
It was a moonlit night,
It was a clear night.
