by Gil Vicente (c1470 - c1536)
Translation by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Si dormís, doncella
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Si dormís, doncella,
despertad y abrid,
que venida es la hora,
si queréis partir.

Si estáis descalza,
naõ cureis de vos calçar,
que muchas agoas
tenéis de pasar.

Agoas de Alquevir,
que venida es la hora,
si queréis partir.

Und schläfst du, mein Mädchen,
Auf, öffne du mir;
Denn die Stund' ist gekommen,
Da wir wandern von hier.

Und bist ohne Sohlen,
Leg' keine dir an;
Durch reisende Wasser
Geht unsere Bahn.

Durch die tief tiefen Wasser
Des Guadalquivir;
Denn die Stund' ist gekommen,
Da wir wandern von hier.
Auf, öffne du mir!
