Paroles et traduction Celia Cruz - Drume Negrita

Drume Negrita

Mamá, la negrita
Se les salen los pies ′e la cunita
Y la negra Mercé
Ya no sabe que hace'

Tú, drume negrita
Que no va compra′ nueva cunita
Que tendrá capitel
Y también ca'cabel

Ya no sabe que hace′

Tú, drume negrita

Si tú drume yo te traigo un melón
Mu′ colora'o
Si no drume yo te traigo un babalao
Que da pao pao

Hay un bembe en casa ′e Merce'

Drume negrita, drume negrita
Drume negrita que hay un bembe
Yo te compro cunita mi negrita

Drume Negrita

Mom, the little black girl
Her feet are sticking out of the crib
And black Mercé
Doesn't know what to do

You, sleep little black girl
We won't buy you a new crib
It will have a headboard
And also a footboard

Mom, the little black girl
Her feet are sticking out of the crib
And old Mercé
Doesn't know what to do

You, sleep little black girl
We won't buy you a new crib
It will have a headboard
And also a footboard

If you sleep I'll bring you a melon
So red
If you don't sleep I'll bring you a voodoo priest
Who will give you a spanking

You, sleep little black girl
We won't buy you a new crib
It will have a headboard
And also a footboard

If you sleep I'll bring you a melon
So red
If you don't sleep I'll bring you a voodoo priest
Who will give you a spanking

You, sleep little black girl
I will buy you a new crib
It will have a headboard
And also a footboard

Sleep little black girl, there's a party
If you don't sleep I won't go to the party
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
There's a party at Merce's house
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
And beautiful ye ye oh ye ye
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
Because of you my little black man left
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
I'm going to offer the hand of yeye
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
Sleep, sleep little black girl
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
If you sleep I'll buy you a crib little black girl
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
Party, party, tell it in the water ye
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
Octavio if he throws a party
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
Octavio if he throws a party
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
Sleep little black girl, sleep little black girl
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
I'll buy you a crib little black girl
Sleep little black girl, there's a party
