from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Duerme, duerme negrito
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Duerme, duerme negrito
que tu mama 'ta en el campo, negrito
duerme, duerme mobila
que tu mama 'ta en el campo, mobila

Te va trae' codornices para ti
te va trae' rica fruta para ti
te va trae' carne de cerdo para ti
te va trae' muchas cosas para ti
y si negro no se duerme
viene el diablo blanco y zas! ...
le come la patita chicapumba
chicapumba apumba chicapum ...

Duerme, duerme negrito
que tu mama 'ta en el campo negrito

Trabajando
trabajando duramente
trabajando, sí
trabajando y va de luto
trabajando sí

Trabajando y no le pagan
trabajando, sí

Trabajando y va tosiendo
trabajando, sí

Pa'l negrito chiquitito
pa'l negrito, sí

Trabajando, sí
trabajando, sí

Duerme, duerme negrito
que tu mama 'ta en el campo negrito

Negrito... negrito...
