Translations © by Guy Laffaille

Song Cycle by Joaquín Rodrigo Vidre (1901 - 1999)

View original-language texts alone: Cuatro madrigales amatorios

1. ¿Con qué la lavaré?
 (Sung text)
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¿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.

1. Avec quoi puis-je laver
Language: French (Français) 
Avec quoi puis-je laver
La peau de mon visage ?
Avec quoi puis-je laver,
Moi qui vis dans le tourment ?
Les femmes mariées lavent
Avec de l'eau citronnée ;
Mais moi, malheureuse, je dois laver
Avec des chagrins et des peines.
