Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub

Esfrega, esfrega, esfrega, esfrega

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub

Esfrega lavadeira...

Scrub, washerwoman...


Chame a lavadeira

Call the washerwoman

Bota ela pra esfregar

Put her to scrub

Essa roupa suja

This dirty clothes

Tá na hora de limpar

It's time to clean


Da pra lavadeira

For the washerwoman

Um balde d' água com sabão

A bucket of water with soap

Se ficar bem limpo

If it gets really clean

Jogo dez em sua mão

I'll bet ten on her hand


A lavadeira lava a roupa da criança

The washerwoman washes the child's clothes

Lava a roupa do titio

Washes uncle's clothes

Lava a roupa do rapaz

Washes the young man's clothes

A lavadeira esfrega, esfrega com carinho

The washerwoman scrubs, scrubs with care

Deixa tudo bem limpinho

Leaves everything very clean

Quero ver como é que faz

I want to see how she does it


Esfrega, esfrega, esfrega, esfrega

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub

Esfrega, esfrega, esfrega, esfrega

Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub

Esfrega lavadeira...

Scrub, washerwoman...


Já lavou, enchaguou

Already washed, rinsed

Esfregou e alvejou

Scrubbed and bleached

Vai estender no varal

Will hang on the clothesline

No fundo do quintal

In the backyard
