Sleep, Dear Dark-Skinned Boy

Sleep, sleep, dear dark-skinned boy
Your mom is in the countryside, dear dark-skinned boy
Sleep, sleep, dear dark-skinned boy
Your mom is in the countryside, dear dark-skinned boy

She will bring quails for you
She will bring delicious fruit for you
She will bring pork meat for you
She will bring so many things for you

And if the dark-skinned boy doesn't fall asleep
The white devil comes
The white devil comes
The white devil comes
And bam! He eats his little foot
Chacapumba, chacapumba, chacapumba, chacapumba
Chacapumba, chacapumba, chacapumba, chacapumba
Sleep, sleep, dear dark-skinned boy
Your mom is in the countryside, dear dark-skinned boy

Working
Working
Working
Working

She will bring quails for you
She will bring delicious fruit for you
She will bring pork meat for you
She will bring so many things for you

Sleep, sleep, dear dark-skinned boy
Your mom is in the countryside, dear dark-skinned boy

Working hard, working, yes
Working and not getting paid, working, yes
Working and coughing, working, yes
Working and in mourning, working, yes

For the young dark-skinned boy
Working, yes
For the dear dark-skinned boy
Working, yes
They don't pay her, yes
Going forward, yes
Yes, working hard, yes, working
Working
Working
Ah
