Lyrics
Un negrito se ha pintao' entera la carita de blanco
Y el corazón lo ha engañao' al verse todo pintao'
Hasta al diablo le ha rezao' pa’amanecer despintao'
El susto de verse blanco hasta el hambre le ha quitao'
Y el negrito se arrepiente de haber querido ser blanco ay, ay, ay
Ay negrito anda laváte! Que negrito tú has nacido'
Ay negrito anda laváte! Que negrito tú has nacido'
Ay negrito anda laváte! Que negrito tú has nacido'
Y negrito has de morir, ay, ay, ay…
Un negrito se ha pintao' entera la carita de blanco
Y el corazón le reclama por haberlo traicionao'
Pensaba que al verse blanco la vida le había cambiao'
Que iba a conseguir trabajo
Que todo había mejorao'
Pero ahorita solo piensa:"ay, porque quise ser blanco"
¡'ay, ay, ay!
Lyrics translation
A negrito has painted his whole face white
And the heart has deceived him 'seeing everything painted'
Even the devil has prayed'PA'dawn Dawn'
The fear of being white to the point of hunger has taken him away.'
And the negrito regrets that he wanted to be white oh, oh, oh
Oh, nigga, wash up! What a nigger you were born'
Oh, nigga, wash up! What a nigger you were born'
Oh, nigga, wash up! What a nigger you were born'
And nigga you gotta die, oh, oh, oh…
A negrito has painted his whole face white
And the heart demands of him for betraying him.'
He thought that when he looked white, his life had changed him.'
I was going to get a job
That everything had improved'
But now he just thinks, " Oh, because I wanted to be white"
'ay, ay, ay!
