Paroles et traduction Mercedes Sosa - Duerme, Negrito (Album Version)

Duerme, Negrito (Album Version)

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama ta en el campo, negrito
Duerme, duerme, mobila
Que tu mama ta en el campo, mobila

Te va a 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 y va de luto, trabajando, sí
Trabajando y no le pagan, trabajando, sí
Trabajando y va tosiendo, trabajando, sí

Pa'l negrito chiquitito, pa'l negrito, sí
Trabajando sí, trabajando, sí

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo, negrito

Negrito
Negrito

Duerme, Negrito (Album Version)

Sleep, sleep, little black boy
Your mother is in the field, little black boy
Sleep, sleep, mobila
Your mother is in the field, mobila

She will bring you quails for you
She will bring you delicious fruit for you
She will bring you pork for you
She will bring you many things for you

And if the black boy does not fall asleep
The white devil will come
And bam, he'll eat his little leg
Chicapumba, chicapumba, apumba, chicapum

Sleep, sleep, little black boy
Your mother is in the field, little black boy

Working
Working hard, working, yes
Working and she's in mourning, working, yes
Working and she's not getting paid, working, yes
Working and she's coughing, working, yes

For the little black boy, for the little black boy, yes
Working yes, working, yes

Sleep, sleep, little black boy
Your mother is in the field, little black boy

Little black boy
Little black boy
