Drume Negrita Drume Mobila Ay Mamá Inés

Mama, the little black girl
Her feet stick out of the crib
And poor black Merce
Doesn't know what to do anymore
Drume little black girl
I'm going to buy a new crib
It will have a canopy
It will have a rattle

If you sleep, I'll bring you a ripe mamey
And if you don't sleep, I'll bring you a babalao
That makes noise

[...] sleep little black girl
I'm going to buy a new crib
It will have a canopy
It will have a rattle.

Sleep baby
(ignacio villa)

Sleep sleep baby
Your mom is in the countryside
Sleep sleep baby
Your mom is in the countryside

She will bring you little birds
She will bring you quails
She will bring you pork meat
She will bring you delicious things

If your mom is in the countryside
The white devil comes
And chomp eats your little foot
Chacapumba chacapumba
[the little foot] chacapum
And chomp eats your little foot
Chacapumba chacapumba
[the little foot] chacapum

Sleepy sleepy baby
Your mom is in the countryside
Hush and hush baby
Your mom is in the countryside

Ay Mama Inés
(eliseo grenet)

But Belén Belén Belén
Where are you hiding
In the neighborhood of Jesus Maria
I've looked for you and haven't found you

Ay Mama Inés ay Mama Inés
All the black folks drink coffee

[ay Mama I'm leaving
Ay Mama I'm leaving].
