Paroles et traduction Mercedes Sosa - 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 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
Chicapuma, Chicapuma, a puma chica pum

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

Sleep, Little Black Boy

Sleep, sleep, little black boy
Your mother is in the fields, little black boy
Sleep, sleep, my child
Your mother is in the fields, my child

She will bring you quail eggs
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 little black boy doesn't fall asleep
The white devil will come
And, zap! he will eat his little foot
Chicapuma, Chicapuma, a little puma pum

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

Working
Working, hard
Working, yes
Working and she is in mourning
Working, yes
Working and they don't pay her
Working, yes

Working and she is 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 fields
Little black boy, little black boy, little black boy
