Angelitos negros
pintor nacido en mi tierra
con el pincel extranjero
pintor que sigues el rumbo
de tantos pintores viejos
aunque la virgen sea blanca
pintale angelitos negros
que tambien se van al cielo
todos los negritos buenos
pintor si pintas con amor
porque desprecias su color
si sabes que en el cielo
tambien ay tambien los quiere dios
pintor si pintas con amor
porque desprecias su color
si sabes que en el cielo
tambien ay tambien los quiere dios
pintor de santos y alcobas
si tienes alma en el cuerpo
porque al pintar en tus cuadros
te olvidastes de los negros
siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordste
de pintar un angel negro
un angel negro
un angel negro un angel negro
Black Angels
painter born in my land
with the foreign brush
painter who follows the path
of so many old painters
although the virgin is white
paint black angels
because they also go to heaven
every good little black child
painter if you paint with love
why do you despise their color
if you know that in heaven
also, yes, God loves them
painter if you paint with love
why do you despise their color
if you know that in heaven
also, yes, God loves them
painter of saints and bedrooms
if you have a soul in your body
why, when painting in your pictures
did you forget about the black ones
whenever you paint churches
you paint beautiful angels
but you never remembered
to paint a black angel
a black angel
a black angel a black angel
