Canción Para Despertar A Un Negrito
Mercedes Sosa
Song to Wake Up a Black Person
A dove
singing passes:
"Upa, my black,
the Sun burns!"
No one sleeps anymore,
nor is at home;
not the crocodile,
nor the yaguaza,
nor the snake,
nor the dove...
Coco, cacao,
corn, moonshine.
"Upa, my black,
the Sun burns!"
Big black man, come
with your black woman.
Air with air,
the Sun burns!
Look at the people,
calling passes:
people in the street,
people in the square.
No one remains
who is at home...
Coco, cacao,
corn, moonshine.
"Upa, my black,
the Sun burns!"
Big black man, little black man,
plum and raisin,
come out and wake up,
the Sun burns,
say awake
what's going on...
No one sleeps anymore,
nor is at home
Coco, cacao,
corn, moonshine.
"Upa, my black,
the Sun burns!".
