Lyrics - Portuguese
(folk song from Portugal)
Zabelinha tecedeira,
Tece num tear quebrado.
Vem o vento da ribeira,
Embaraça-lhe o fiado!
Zabelinha tecedeira,
Tece, tece, num tear.
Olha não te leve o vento
A teia por acabar!
English Translation - Zabelinha weaving
Zabelinha weaving,
She weaves on a broken loom.
The wind from the riverside comes,
Embarrass his spun!
Zabelinha weaving,
She weaves, weaves, on a loom.
Look, don’t take the wind
The web to end!
