Lyrics of Drume, Negrita - Mercedes Sosa

Drume, Negrita (original)

Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama est~en el campo, negrito
Te va~a traer codornices
Para ti Te va~a traer rica fruta
Para ti Te va~a traer muchas cosas
Para ti.
Y si el negro no se duerme
Viene el diablo blanco
Y zas le come la patita
Chacap, chacap, chacap,
Chacap, chacap, chacap,
Lay laray la la laray la Que tu mama est en el campo
Negrito,
Trabajando, (s)
Trabajando, todo el dia,
Trabajando, s.
Duerme, duerme, negrito
Que tu mama est en el campo
Negrito, negrito

(translation)

Sleep, sleep, black
May your mom be in the field, black
She's going to bring you quail
For you I will bring rich fruit
For you I will bring many things
For you.
And if the black don't fall asleep
The white devil is coming
And wham eats his leg
Chacap, chacap, chacap,
Chacap, chacap, chacap,
Lay laray la la laray la That your mom is in the field
black,
working, (s)
Working all day,
Working, yes.
Sleep, sleep, black
That your mom is in the field
black, black
