Текст и перевод песни Pepe Ramos - El Negro

El Negro

Ahí viene el negro cantando, trae clavado un sentimiento
Ahí viene el negro cantando, trae clavado un sentimiento
El dolor lo está matando, su canción es un lamento
Nunca lo verán llorando, costeño es de nacimiento
Nunca lo verán llorando, costeño es de nacimiento

Cantarle sí, llorarle no
Anda, negro, con tu orgullo ponle freno a tu dolor
Anda, negro, con tu orgullo ponle freno a tu dolor

¡Échale, échale, negro!

Un cenzontle en una rama lloraba su decepción
Un cenzontle en una rama lloraba su decepción
Contaba que su adorada lo dejó sin compasión
Eso mismo le pasaba al negro de mi canción
Eso mismo le pasaba al negro de mi canción

Cantarle sí, llorarle no
Anda, negro, con tu orgullo ponle freno a tu dolor
Anda, negro, con tu orgullo ponle freno a tu dolor

Sufro, pero estoy seguro que ella llora

Ya se va cantando el negro la historia de su dolor
Ya se va cantando el negro la historia de su dolor
Se ve muy claro en su ceño que va buscando un amor
O a morir como costeño con la cara viendo al sol
O a morir como costeño con la cara viendo al sol

Cantarle sí, llorarle no
Anda, negro, con tu orgullo ponle freno a tu dolor
Anda, negro, con tu orgullo ponle freno a tu dolor

The Black Man

There comes the black man singing, he brings a feeling nailed to him
There comes the black man singing, he brings a feeling nailed to him
Pain is killing him, his song is a lament
You'll never see him crying, he's a born and bred coastal man
You'll never see him crying, he's a born and bred coastal man

Sing to him yes, but don't you cry
Come on, Black man, put a rein on your pain with your pride
Come on, Black man, put a rein on your pain with your pride

Come on, come on, Black man!

A mockingbird on a branch was mourning its disappointment
A mockingbird on a branch was mourning its disappointment
It told of how its beloved left it without compassion
That's what happened to the black man in my song
That's what happened to the black man in my song

Sing to him yes, but don't you cry
Come on, Black man, put a rein on your pain with your pride
Come on, Black man, put a rein on your pain with your pride

I'm in pain, but I'm sure she's crying too

Now the black man is singing about the story of his pain
Now the black man is singing about the story of his pain
You can clearly see in his frown that he's looking for a love
Or to die like a coastal man with his face to the sun
Or to die like a coastal man with his face to the sun

Sing to him yes, but don't you cry
Come on, Black man, put a rein on your pain with your pride
Come on, Black man, put a rein on your pain with your pride
