Paroles et traduction Marta Gómez - Duerme Negrito

Duerme Negrito

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo, negrito
Duerme, duerme, mobila
Que tu mama está en el campo, mobila
Te va traer codornices para ti.
Te va a traer rica fruta para ti
Te va a traer carne de cerdo para ti.
Te va a traer muchas cosas para ti.
Y si el negro no se duerme
Viene el diablo blanco
Y zas! le come la patita
Chicapumba, chicapumba, apumba, chicapum.
Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo,
Negrito
Trabajando
Trabajando duramente, Trabajando sí
Trabajando e va de luto, Trabajando sí
Trabajando e no le pagan, Trabajando sí
Trabajando e va tosiendo, Trabajando sí
Pal negrito, chiquitito
Pal negrito sí
Trabajando sí, Trabajando sí
Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo
Negrito, negrito...

Sleep, Little Black Child

Sleep, sleep, little black child
Your mama's in the field, little black child
Sleep, sleep, little one
Your mama's in the field, little one
She'll bring you quail for you.
She'll bring you delicious fruit for you
She'll bring you pork for you.
She'll bring you many things for you.
And if the little black child doesn't fall asleep
The white devil will come
And bam! He'll eat his little foot
Chicapumba, chicapumba, apumba, chicapum.
Sleep, sleep, little black child
Your mama's in the field,
Little black child
Working
Working hard, Working yes
Working and she's in mourning, Working yes
Working and they don't pay her, Working yes
Working and she's coughing, Working yes
For the little black child, the little one
For the little black child yes
Working yes, Working yes
Sleep, sleep, little black child
Your mama's in the field
Little black child, little black child...
