Lyrics of Baby Now That I've Found You (Shallow Hal) - Countdown Singers

Baby Now That I've Found You (Shallow Hal) (original)

Pintor nacido en mi tierra
con el pincel extranjero
pintor que sigues el rumbo
a tantos pintores viejos.
Aunque la virgen sea blanca
píntame angelitos negros
que también se van al cielo
todos los negritos buenos.
Pintor si pintas con amor
porqué desprecias su color
si sabes que en el cielo
también los quiere Dios.
Siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un angel negro.

(translation)

Painter born in my land
with the foreign brush
painter who follows the course
to so many old painters.
Although the virgin is white
paint me little black angels
who also go to heaven
all the good blacks.
Painter if you paint with love
why do you despise its color
if you know that in heaven
God loves them too.
Whenever you paint churches
you paint beautiful little angels
but you never remembered
to paint a black angel.
