El Negrito Del Batey
Alberto Beltrán
The Little Black Man from the Batey
They call me the little black man from the batey
Because work is an enemy to me
I leave all the work to the ox
Because work was made by God as punishment
I like my merengue with a twist
With a sassy and good-looking black woman
I like to dance sideways
Dance close
With a very tasty black woman
They call me the little black man
And tell me if it's not true
Merengue is much better
And tell me if it's not true
Merengue is much better
Because working
Causes me pain
Because working
Causes me pain
He loves good mango
But never gets dengue
He loves good mango
But never gets dengue
With a good black woman
I'll dance to a good merengue
With a good black woman
I'll dance to a good merengue
