Mercedes Sosa "Duerme Negrito" lyrics

Duerme Negrito

Duerme, duerme, negritoQue tu mama está en el campo, negrito

Duerme, duerme, mobilaQue tu mama está en el campo, mobila

Te va traer codornicesPara ti.Te va a traer rica frutaPara tiTe va a traer carne de cerdoPara ti.Te va a traer muchas cosasPara ti.

Y si el negro no se duermeViene el diablo blancoY zas le come la patitaChacapumba, chacapumba, apumba, chacapumba.

Duerme, duerme, negritoQue tu mama está en el campo,Negrito

TrabajandoTrabajando duramente, (Trabajando sí)Trabajando e va de luto, (Trabajando sí)Trabajando e no le pagan, (Trabajando sí)Trabajando e va tosiendo, (Trabajando sí)

Para el negrito, chiquititoPara el negrito siTrabajando sí, Trabajando sí

Duerme, duerme, negritoQue tu mama está en el campoNegrito, negrito, negrito.
