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 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
Chacapumba, chacapumba, apumba, chacapumba
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 el negrito, chiquitito, pa'l el negrito sí
Trabajando sí, trabajando sí
Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo negrito
Negrito, negrito

Sleep, My Little Black Child

Go to sleep, go to sleep, little black child
Because your mother is in the field, little black child
Go to sleep, go to sleep, little black child
Because your mother is in the field, little black child
She'll bring you quail, just for you
She'll bring you delicious fruit, just for you
She'll bring you pork, just for you
She'll bring you many things, just for you
And if the black child doesn't go to sleep
The white devil will come
And snap off his little leg
Chacapumba, chacapumba, apumba, chacapumba
Go to sleep, go to sleep, little black child
Because your mother is 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 tiny one, for the little black child yes
Working yes, working yes
Go to sleep, go to sleep, little black child
Because your mother is in the field little black child
Little black child, little black child
