Angelitos Negros
Javier Solís
Black Angels
Painter born in my land
With the foreign brush
Painter who follows the path
Of so many old painters
Even if the Virgin is white
Paint me black angels
For they also go to heaven
All the good little black ones
Painter, if you paint with love
Why do you despise their color
If you know that in heaven
God also loves them
Painter of saints and bedrooms
If you have a soul in your body
Why, when painting those pictures
Did you forget about the blacks
Whenever you paint churches
You paint beautiful little angels
But you never remembered
To paint a black angel
Painter of saints and bedrooms
If you have a soul in your body
Why, when painting those pictures
Did you forget about the blacks
Whenever you paint churches
You paint beautiful little angels
But you never remembered
To paint a black angel
