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
{Refrain:}
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
Et tape et tape et tape avec ton battoir
Et tape et tape tu dormiras mieux ce soir
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 :
{au Refrain}
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 :
{au Refrain}
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
Elles mettent une ambiance folle
Le xérès faisant son effet
Elles commencent à chantonner :
{au Refrain}
