Lyrics

Pittore, ti voglio parlare
Mentre dipingi un altare.
Io sono un povero negro
E d’una cosa ti prego.
Pur se la Vergine è bianca
Fammi un angelo negro…
Tutti i bimbi vanno in cielo
Anche se son solo negri.
Lo so, dipingi con amor
Perché disprezzi il mio color?
Se vede bimbi negri
Iddio sorride a loro.
Non sono che un povero negro,
Ma nel Signore io credo,
E so che tiene d’accanto
Anche i negri che hanno pianto.
Lo so, dipingi con amor
Perché disprezzi il mio color?
Se vede bimbi negri
Iddio sorride a loro…

Lyrics translation

Painter, I want to talk to you
While painting an altar.
I'm a poor nigger
And one thing, please.
Even if the Virgin is white
Make me a black angel…
All children go to heaven
Even though they're just niggers.
I know, you paint with love
Why do you despise my color?
You see black kids
God smiles at them.
I'm nothing but a poor nigger,
But in the Lord I believe,
And I know he keeps next door
Even the niggers who cried.
I know, you paint with love
Why do you despise my color?
You see black kids
God smiles at them…
