Lyrics of Lavadeira do rio - Maria Rita

Lavadeira do rio (original)

Lenine
A lavadeira do rio
Muito lencol pra lavar
Fica faltando uma saia
Quando o sabao se acabar
Mas corra pra beira da praia
Veja a espuma brilhar
Ouca o barulho bravio
Das ondas que batem na beira do mar
Ouca o barulho bravio
Das ondas que batem na beira do mar
Eo, o vento soprou
Eo, a folha caiu
Eo, cade meu amor
Que a noite chegou fazendo frio
Rita sai da janela
Deixa esse moco passar
Quem nao rico e bela
Nao pode se descuidar
Rita tu sai da janela
Que as mocas desse lugar
Nem se demora a donzela
Nem se destina a casar

(translation)

Lenin
The laundress of the river
Lots of sheets to wash
Missing a skirt
When the sabbath runs out
But run to the edge of the beach
See the foam shine
Hear the wild noise
Of the waves that crash on the seashore
Hear the wild noise
Of the waves that crash on the seashore
Eo, the wind blew
Eo, the leaf fell
Hey, where's my love?
That night arrived being cold
Rita leaves the window
let this guy pass
Who is not rich is beautiful
You can't be careless
Rita you come out of the window
That the girls of this place
It doesn't take long for the maiden
It is not intended to marry
