White Boy

Niño blanco

White Boy

Envíalo a los campos, envíalo a las guerrasSend him to the fields, send him to the wars
Envíalo a trabajar como esclavo en las granjasSend him on down to slave on the farms
Robarle su tierra, robarle su almaSteal his land, rob his soul
Envíalo a cavar ese hoyoSend him on down to dig that hole

No le des esperanza, no le des pruebasGive him no hope, give him no trial
Ponle cadenas, rompele esa sonrisaPut him in chains, break that smile
Tira de esa barcaza, carga ese fardoPull that barge, tote that bale
Escúchalo cantar, escúchalo gemirListen to him singin', hear him wail

No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy

No le deis paz, no le deis descansoGive him no peace, give him no rest
Enséñale a creer que tu dios es el mejorTeach him to believe your god is the best
Navega lejos, hacia la tierra prometidaSail him away, to the promised land
Envíalo a las manos de su amoSend him on down into his masters hand

Toma a su mujer, toma a su hijoTake his woman, take his child
Llévalo hasta la milla del asesinatoTake him on down to the murder mile
Tira de esa barcaza, carga ese fardoPull that barge, tote that bale
¿Cuál es esa canción que lo escuchas gemir?What's that song you can hear him wail

No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy

Ahora te preguntas por qué es un hombre enojadoNow you wonder why he's an angry man
¿Por qué hay fuego en la tierra de tu padre?Why there's fire in your father's land
Y me pregunto ahora qué traerá el mañanaAnd wonder now what tomorrow will bring
¿Lo oirás gritar? ¿Lo oirás cantar?Will you hear him screamin', will you hear him sing

No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
No le harías eso a un chico blancoYou wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
