Azucena scene 2
Azucena scene 2 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
La canción se interrumpe por la voz delgada de su mamá;
'Apúrate niña, tienes que ayudarme, ya viene tu padre'.
The song is interrupted by her mother's thin voice
"Hurry, child, you must help me, your father comes"
Ella levanta la mirada, la canción ya no salia de su boca.
ni en su garganta; mira hacia donde esta esa mujer acabada.
She raises her gaze, the song no longer leaves of her mouth;
she looks to where her mother stands; she is a worn out lady.
La muchacha sonríe; una sonrisa hermosa, una mirada feliz;
es la sonrisa normal que nace de su naturaleza placentera.
The girl smiles at her; a pretty smile, a fresh happy look;
it is an habitual smile that is born in her pleasant nature.
Dándole un último golpe a la ropa, se levanta y va hacia la casa;
su madre le pasa al quejoso bebé, cuyos pañales hay que cambiar.
Giving the clothes a last slap, she stands up, goes to the house;
her ma hands her the squealing baby for her to change its diapers.

that she gives the clothes she is washing a last slap against the stone
When you say this line: "Giving the clothes a last slap, she stands up, goes to the house" what are you meaning by "giving the clothes a last slap'"
