¿Con qué la lavaré
la [tez]1 de la mi cara?
¿Con qué la lavaré,
Que vivo mal penada?
Lávanse las casadas
con agua de limones:
lávome yo, cuitada,
con [penas]2 y dolores.

Womit kann ich sie netzen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español)
Womit kann ich sie netzen,
die Haut meines Gesichts?
Womit kann ich mich netzen,
ich, die im Kummer lebt?
Essenz von der Zitrone
netzt den Teint der Ehefrauen,
doch ich in meinem Elend
bade in Leid und Schmerz.
