Duerme Negrito

Sleep, Little Black One

Duerme Negrito

Sleep, sleep, little black oneDuerme, duerme, negrito
Your mama is in the field, little black oneQue tu mama está en el campo, negrito
Sleep, sleep, my little oneDuerme, duerme, mobila
Your mama is in the field, my little oneQue tu mama está en el campo, mobila

She'll bring you quails, just for youTe va traer codornices, para ti
She'll bring you pork meat, just for youTe va a traer carne de cerdo, para ti
She'll bring you delicious fruit, just for youTe va a traer rica fruta, para ti
She'll bring you many things, for youTe va a traer muchas cosas, Para ti

And if the black one doesn't fall asleepY si el negro no se duerme
The white devil comesViene el diablo blanco
And bam, he eats his little footY zas le come la patita

Chickaboom, chickaboom, boom, chickaboomChicapumba, chicapumba, apumba, chicapumb.
