Lyrics

Mercedes Sosa - Duerme Negrito

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está~en el campo, negrito
Duerme, duerme, ?
Que tu mama esta~en el campo, ?
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
Ven el diablo blanco
Y zas le come la patita
Chacapó, chacapó, chacapó,
Chacapó, chacapó, chacapó,
Duerme, duerme negritoMercedes Sosa - Duerme Negrito - http://motolyrics.com/mercedes-sosa/duerme-negrito-lyrics-english-translation.html
Que tu mama está en el campo
Negrito,
Trabajando,
Trabajando, duramente
Trabajando, sí.
Trabajando y va de luto
Trabajando, si
Trabajando y no le pagan
Trabajando, si
Trabajando y va tosiendo
Trabajando, si
El negrito chiquitito
El negrito, si
Trabajando, si
Trabajando, si
Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama está en el campo
Negrito, negrito

Mercedes Sosa - Little Black Boy (English translation)

Sleep, sleep little black boy
For your mama is in the field, little black boy

Sleep, sleep Mobila
For your mama is in the field, Mobila

She is going to bring quails,
for you
She is going to bring sweet fruit,
for you
She is going to bring pork,
for you
She is going to bring lots of things,
for you

And if the little black boy doesn't go to sleepMercedes Sosa - Duerme Negrito - http://motolyrics.com/mercedes-sosa/duerme-negrito-lyrics-english-translation.html
Then the white devil will come
and Zhaz!! He will eat your little leg
Chacapumba, chacapumba, acapumba, chacapumba

Sleep, sleep little black boy
For your mama is in the field, little black boy

Working
Working hard (yes, working)
Working, she is mourning ( yes, working)
Working, she doesn't get paid (yes, working)
Working, she goes coughing ( yes, working)

For the little black boy, little one
For the little black boy
yes, working.
