Текст и перевод песни Kathleen Battle - Ninghe, Ninghe

Ninghe, Ninghe

Ninghe, ninghe, tan chiquitito,
El negrito que no quiere dormir.
Cabeza de coco, grano de cafe.
Con lindas motitas,
Con ojos grandotes
Como dos ventanas
Que miran al mar.

Cierra los ojitos,
Negrito asustado,
El mandinga blanco
Te puede comer.
Ya no eres esclavo!
Y si duermes mucho
El señor de casa
Promete complar
Traje con botones
Para ser un "groom".

Ninghe, ninghe, ninghe
Duérmete negrito, mmm
Cabeza de coco,
Grano de cafe
Grano de cafe...

Ninghe, Ninghe

Ninghe, ninghe, so tiny,
A little boy who doesn't want to sleep.
Coconut head, coffee bean.
With little dots,
With big eyes
Like two windows
That look at the sea.

Close your little eyes,
Scared little boy,
The white devil
May eat you up.
You are not a slave anymore!
And if you sleep a lot
The master of the house
Promises to buy
An outfit with buttons
To be a "groom".

Ninghe, ninghe, ninghe
Go to sleep, little boy, mmm
Coconut head,
Coffee bean
Coffee bean...
