Текст и перевод песни Astrud Gilberto feat. Walter Wanderley - Portuguese Washerwoman

Portuguese Washerwoman

Connaissez-vous des lavandières
Comme il y en a au Portugal
Surtout celles de la rivière
De la ville de Setubal
Ce n'est vraiment pas des lavoirs
Où elles lavent mais des volières
Il faut les entendre et les voir
Rythmer leurs chants de leurs battoirs

あんた方はご存じ？
ポルトガルの なかでも
セトゥバルの町を流れる川の
洗濯女たちを
彼女たちが洗濯しているところは
ほんとうは洗濯場じゃなくて おしゃべりのたまり場
彼女たちが洗濯棒で歌の拍子をとっているのを
聞いてまた見てごらん

Lavandière3

Tant qu'y aura du linge à laver
On boira de la manzanilla
Tant qu'y aura du linge à laver
Des hommes on pourra se passer 注1
Et tape et tape et tape avec ton battoir
Et tape et tape tu dormiras mieux ce soir

洗い物があればあるほど
マンザニーリャを飲み
洗い物があればあるほど
男なしで過ごせるのよ
洗濯棒で タップ タップ タップ
タップ タップ あんたは今晩よく眠れるよ

Quand un homme s'approche d'elles
Surtout s'il est jeune et bien fait
Aussitôt elles glissent leurs bretelles
De leurs épaules au teint frais
Oui mais si c'est un va-nu-pieds
Ou bien même quelque vieil hidalgo
Elles s'amusent à le mouiller
En chantant d'une voix égayée:

男が彼女たちに近づいたなら
とくにそれが若くて男前なら
すぐさまエプロンの紐を
若々しい肌色の肩から滑らせるのさ
でもそれが浮浪者だったり
あるいは年寄りのスペイン貴族だったなら
陽気な声で歌いながら
水を浴びせてからかうんだよ

Lavandière2

Le soir venu les lavandières
S'en vont avec leur linge blanc
Il faut voir leur silhouette fière
Se détacher dans le couchant
Sur leur tête leur panier posé
Telles des déesses antiques
On entend doucement s'éloigner
Leur refrain et leurs pas feutrés:

夜になると洗濯女たちは
真っ白な布を持って立ち去っていく
古代の女神たちのように
頭に籠を載せた
彼女たちの堂々たるシルエットが
夕陽の中にくっきりと浮かび上がるのを見てごらんよ
彼女たちの歌のルフランと忍ばせた足音が
そおっと遠ざかって行くのが聞こえる

Oui mais souvent les lavandières
Trouvent le mari de leur choix
Toutes les autres lavandières
Le grand jour partagent leur joie
Au repas de noces invitées 注2
Elles mettent une ambiance folle
Le xérès faisant son effet 注3
Elles commencent à chantonner:

でも洗濯女たちはときどき
自分の好みで夫を見つけるのさ
ほかの洗濯女たちは
晴れの日には 結婚披露宴に招待されて
彼らの喜びをともにする
彼女たちは浮かれた雰囲気を醸し出すよ
シェリー酒が効いて
鼻歌を歌い始めるのさ

Portuguese Washerwoman

Do you know the washerwomen
Like the ones in Portugal
Especially those by the river
In the town of Setúbal
They're not really laundries
Where they wash, but aviaries
You have to hear and see them
Rhythm their songs with their washing paddles

Do you know?
Among those in Portugal
The washerwomen of the river
In the town of Setúbal
The places where they wash
Aren't really laundries but gathering spots for chatter
Listen and see them
Keeping time to their songs with their washing paddles

Washerwoman3

As long as there's laundry to wash
We'll drink Manzanilla
As long as there's laundry to wash
We can do without men
And tap and tap and tap with your washing paddle
And tap and tap you'll sleep better tonight

The more laundry there is to wash
The more Manzanilla we drink
The more laundry there is to wash
The more we can do without men
Washing paddle, tap tap tap
Tap tap, you'll sleep well tonight

When a man approaches them
Especially if he's young and handsome
Immediately they slip their straps
From their fresh-complexioned shoulders
Yes, but if it's a barefoot vagabond
Or even some old hidalgo
They have fun getting him wet
Singing in a cheerful voice:

If a man approaches them,
Especially if he's young and handsome,
They immediately slip their apron strings
From their youthful, fresh-colored shoulders
But if it's a barefoot vagabond
Or even some old Spanish nobleman
They have fun splashing him with water
Singing in a cheerful voice:

Washerwoman2

When evening comes, the washerwomen
Leave with their white laundry
You have to see their proud silhouette
Standing out against the sunset
With their baskets on their heads
Like ancient goddesses
We hear softly fading away
Their refrain and their hushed steps:

When evening comes, the washerwomen
Leave, carrying their white laundry
Like ancient goddesses,
With baskets balanced on their heads
See their proud silhouettes
Standing out against the setting sun
Their song's refrain and their quiet footsteps
Softly fade into the distance

Yes, but often the washerwomen
Find the husband of their choice
All the other washerwomen
Share their joy on the big day
Invited to the wedding feast
They create a crazy atmosphere
The sherry having its effect
They begin to hum:

But sometimes the washerwomen
Find husbands just the way they like them
All the other washerwomen
Invited to the wedding feast,
Share in their joy on the big day
They create a wild atmosphere
The sherry taking effect
They start humming:
