Lyrics
Põe água na tina, menina
Que tem roupa pra lavar
Bate, bate com sabão
Esfrega, esfrega na mão
Depois bota pra quarar
Aquecendo lindas manhãs
Com o imenso fulgor o sol
Faz dourar as margens das corredeiras
E o canto das lavadeiras
Ecoa no arrebol
Põe água na tina, menina…
Meio-dia, sol a pino se recolhe
A roupa do quarador
Que Maria enxágua na bacia
Numa água azul de anil
No pescoço, um colar de pregadores
Que um a um faz prender a roupa no varal
Sem ver a vida passar sempre a cantarolar
Um canto de amor tão sutil
Que se expande na multidão
Penetra no coração
Encorajando o peito juvenil
O vento que ajuda a roupa a secar
Também leva o teu cantarolar
Pra todo canto do meu Brasil
Põe água na tina, menina
Lyrics translation
Put water in the tub, girl.
That has laundry to wash
Beat, beat with soap
Scrub, Scrub in hand
After boot to quarar
Warming beautiful mornings
With the immense glow the sun
It browns the banks of the Rapids
And the corner of the washing machines
Echoes in the outburst
Put water in the tub, girl.…
Noon, sun to pin collects
The clothes of the quarador
That Mary rinses in the basin
In a blue water of anil
On the neck, a necklace of preachers
That one by one makes to fasten the clothes on the clothesline
Without seeing life always humming
Such a subtle love song
That expands in the crowd
Penetrates the heart
Encouraging the youthful breast
The wind that helps clothes dry
Also take your humming
For every corner of my Brazil
Put water in the tub, girl.
