by Gil Vicente (c1470 - c1536)
Translation by Sebastian Mutzl (1797 - 1863)

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.

Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Portuguese (Português) 
Our translations:  ENG
Schläfst du, liebes Mädchen?
Öffne deine Thür,
'Kommen ist die Stunde,
Willst du geh'n mit mir?

Hast du keine Schuhe
An den Füßchen schön,
Laß sie, manche Wasser
Hast du [durch zu geh'n]1.

Tief sind, tief die Wasser
Des Guadalquivir:
'Kommen ist die Stunde,
Komm', o komm mit mir!
