Negrita

You painted yourself and got a tattoo
made yourself a beauty mark
you dyed your hair and pierced, hey, hey!

What do you have left from that now?
you've got nothing left
You came out just like you went in, hey, hey!

Oh little black girl, you're so alone
oh little black girl, what a shame you make me feel
when you walk down the street looking sad
wearing dark glasses so that...
they don't see you cry
hey!

What happened to your pupils?
that they don't shine anymore?
What happened to your gaze? hey, hey!

Today you hide it away
behind some glass
and it doesn't do you any good, no, no!

Oh little black girl, you're so alone
oh little black girl, what a shame you make me feel
when you walk down the street looking sad
wearing dark glasses so that...
they don't see you cry
hey!

Hey little black girl!
Come and dance my little rumba!

Oh little black girl, oh little black girl
how alone you are
oh little black girl, oh little black girl
but what a shame you make me feel
at the dances and at the dances
no one picks you up anymore
and you wear glasses and you wear glasses
so they don't see you cry

Eh, ehyyy!
so they don't see you cry
Eh, ehyyy!
so they don't see you cry

Come with me, come to the dance
come to dance
don't feel down, no, no!

there's no bad that doesn't come for good
this is true
in the wheel of life
Oh God!

Oh little black girl, oh little black girl
how alone you are
oh little black girl, oh little black girl
but what a shame you make me feel
at the dances and at the dances
no one picks you up anymore
and you wear glasses and you wear glasses
so they don't see you cry

Eh, ehyyy!
so they don't see you cry
Eh, ehyyy!
so they don't see you cry

Oh!
