¿Con qué la lavaré?
(1947)
Part of a series or song cycle:
Cuatro madrigales amatorios
¿Con qué la lavaré?
¿Con qué la lavaré
la tez de la mi cara?
¿Con qué la lavaré,
Que vivo mal penada?
Lávanse las casadas
con agua de limones:
lávome yo, cuitada,
con penas y dolores.
¿Con qué la lavaré,
que vivo mal penada?
With what shall I wash
With what shall I wash
the skin of my face?
With what shall I wash it?
I live in such sorrow.
Married women wash in lemon water:
in my grief I wash
in pain and sorrow.
With what shall I wash it?
I live in such sorrow.
