Canción de Lavandera
María Elena Walsh
Laundress Song
Wash yourself, dove
With wet air
The legs and the beak
The feather and the flight
Flying, flying
Wash your shadow
Distracted moon
With star soap
And foam of clouds
Salty, salty
Wash the leaves
Sleepy summer
With rainwater
And sponge of wind
Salty, salty
The air washes me
The light messes up my hair
The mischievous foam
Will put a wig on me
Like a queen, like a queen
