Negra Murguera

Like a drunkard waking up
ruined in a fountain,
he gets up and starts to remember
the events already distant from the night before...
a black woman, dust and tumble...

You are the murga that is born in the heart of the malón
of the race that exudes this sweat
With one eye patched and a piece of heart
when passion becomes pure grease...

MURGA MURGUERA
DITCH WATER, SIDEWALK SKIN
TAKE ME WITH YOU...

To the mundane suburb that has no rank,
where they paint good, bad, what do I know...
Sadness is a glass that also spilled
that day when the gambeteó tun tun...

MURGA MURGUERA
DITCH WATER, SIDEWALK SKIN
TAKE ME WITH YOU...
MURGA MURGUERA
UNDER YOUR STARRY SKY THE MANES STIR
TAKE ME WITH YOU...
TO PLAY UNTIL THE HANDS BLEED,
TO PLAY UNTIL THE HANDS BLEED,
TO PLAY UNTIL THE HANDS BLEED,
TO PLAY UNTIL...

In the midst of the hangover
he tries very slowly to tune the murga,
but it's a lazy lament
similar to the wind that makes him think...

You are the muse that brings me inspiration,
I swear I won't leave my drum
Because seeing you dark-haired is such a beautiful sensation
I only play for you to dance...

BLACK MURGA DANCER
GET ON THE TROUPE AND MOVE YOUR HIPS
TAKE ME WITH YOU...

In the street they already say that I wasn't like I am
And what do you want? If tenderness sprouted in me...
And these very sweet verses that your dance stole
are the irrefutable proof of a love...

BLACK MURGA DANCER
GET ON THE TROUPE AND MOVE YOUR HIPS,
TAKE ME WITH YOU...
BLACK MURGA DANCER
FROM THE BLUE MOON YOUR SKIRT IS SEEN,
THAT BREAKS THE PAIN...
AND MAKES ME WANT TO PUT MY FOOT IN IT
AND MAKES ME WANT TO PUT MY FOOT IN IT
AND MAKES ME WANT TO PUT MY FOOT IN IT
AND MAKES ME WANT TO... BLACK MURGA DANCER
AND MAKES ME WANT TO... BLACK MURGA DANCER
AND MAKES ME WANT TO... BLACK MURGA DANCER
AND MAKES ME WANT TO... BLACK MURGA DANCER
AND MAKES ME WANT TO...

He while returning home
reviews the steps he has to take
and blames the drunkenness
for having forgotten the black woman in a bar...
