Little Black Girl

Negrita

You painted yourself and got a tattooTe pintaste y te tatuaste
made yourself a beauty markte hiciste un lunar
you dyed your hair and pierced, hey, hey!te teñiste y perforaste hey, hey!

What do you have left from that now?Que te queda de eso ahora?
you've got nothing leftno te queda nada
You came out just like you went in, hey, hey!Que saliste como entraste hey, hey!

Oh little black girl, you're so aloneAy negrita que solita estas
oh little black girl, what a shame you make me feelay negrita que pena que me das
when you walk down the street looking sadcuando triste por la calle vas
wearing dark glasses so that...gafas negras para que...
they don't see you cryno te vean llorar
hey!hey!

What happened to your pupils?Que paso con tus pupilas?
that they don't shine anymore?que no brillan más
What happened to your gaze? hey, hey!que paso con tu mirada? hey, hey!

Today you hide it awayHoy la llevas escondida
behind some glassdetras de un cristal
and it doesn't do you any good, no, no!y no te sirve de nada, no, no!

Oh little black girl, you're so aloneAy negrita que solita estas
oh little black girl, what a shame you make me feelay negrita que pena que me das
when you walk down the street looking sadcuando triste por la calle vas
wearing dark glasses so that...gafas negras para que...
they don't see you cryno te vean llorar
hey!hey!
