by Gil Vicente (c1470 - c1536)
Translation by (Paul) Jules Barbier (1825 - 1901)

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.
