Paroles et traduction Pascuala Ilabaca - Casamiento de Negros

Casamiento de Negros

Se ha formado un casamiento
Todo cubierto de negro
Negros novios y padrinos
Negros cuñados y suegros
Y el cura que los caso'
Era de los mismos negros.

Cuando empezaron la fiesta
Pusieron un mantel negro
Luego llegaron al postre
Y se sirvieron higos secos
Y se fueron a acostar
Debajo de un cielo negro

Y ahí están las dos cabezas
De la negra con el negro
Amanecieron con frio
Y tuvieron que prender fuego
Carbón trajo la negrita
Carbón que tambien es negro

Algo le duele a la negra
Vino el medico del pueblo
Recetó emplastos de barro
Pero del barro más negro
Que le dieran a la negra
Zumo de maqui del cerro

Ya se murió la negrita
Que pena pal pobre negro
La puso dentro e' un cajón
Cajón pintado de negro
No prendieron ni una vela
Hay que velorio mas negro.

Marriage of Blacks

There has been a wedding
All covered in black
Black grooms and godparents
Black brothers-in-law and in-laws
And the priest who married them,
Was also black.

When the party started,
They put on a black tablecloth
Then they came to the dessert,
And they were served dried figs,
And they went to bed,
Under a black sky.

And there are the two heads,
Of the black woman with the black man,
They woke up cold,
And they had to make a fire,
The little black woman brought charcoal,
Charcoal that is also black.

Something hurts the black woman,
The doctor from the village came,
He prescribed mud plasters,
But of the blackest mud,
That they would give the black woman,
Juice of maqui from the hill.

The little black woman has died,
What a shame for the poor black man,
He put her in a crate,
A crate painted black,
They did not light a single candle,
There is a blacker wake.
