El Negrito De Alabama(original) |
Un negro que se fue al cielo |
Quiso enseguida en el cielo entrar |
Y viendo que no le abrían |
Al buen San Pedro empezó a llamar |
Y San Pedro como es tan bueno |
Le preguntó |
Negrito, que tú has hecho |
Pa' merecer esta distinción |
El negro ya resignado |
Al buen San Pedro le preguntó |
Pedrito, aquí nadie se ha enterado |
Porque la prensa aquí no llegó |
Y San Pedro desesperado le preguntó |
Y qué has hecho pa' merecer esta distinción |
Que en Alabama a las doce del día |
Con una rubia yo me casé |
Hace un minuto, oye San Pedro |
Y ya tú ves cómo me limpié |
(translation) |
A black gone to heaven |
He immediately wanted to enter heaven |
And seeing that they did not open |
The good San Pedro began to call |
And San Pedro like him is so good |
he asked her |
Black, what have you done? |
To deserve this distinction |
The already resigned black |
To the good San Pedro he asked |
Pedrito, nobody here has found out |
Because the press here did not arrive |
And desperate Saint Peter asked him |
And what have you done to deserve this distinction |
That in Alabama at twelve o'clock |
I married a blonde |
A minute ago, hey Saint Peter |
And you see how I cleaned myself |
