Canção da Fiandeira
 (Sung text for setting by A. Fragoso)
 Matches base text
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Our translations:  ENG
Lindo linho, cresce, cresce
Em terra do paraíso;
Dou-te água das minhas lágrimas,
Dou-te o sol, no meu sorriso.

Linho, linho! O que hás-de ser?
Depois da foice, a espadela
Depois, o novelo; e a teia...
Doce enxoval depois dela.

Forma-se a estriga, no fuso.
Alva linha que não parte;
Assim, Amor! Os meus sonhos
Sejam fios de enlear-te...

Anda, sarilho! Ensarilha
Esta meada comprida...
Assim Deus me ensarilhasse
Os fios da minha vida.

Tece, tece, meu tear,
Ao bater do coração,
Teia de amor que há de ver
Tanto beijo e tanto pão!
