Drume Negrita Lyrics - Gracias - Omara Portuondo

DRUME NEGRITA (Eliseo Grenet 1893-1950) 

Mama la negrita / se le salen los pies de la cunita 

y la negra Merce / ya no sabe que hacer 

Tu drume, negrita / que yo va compra nueva cunita 

que va tener capitel / que va tener cascabel 

Si tu drume yo te traigo un mamey muy colorado 

si tu drume yo te traigo un babalao que da pao pao 

Tu drume negrita / que yo va compra nueva cunita 

que va tener capitel / que va tener cascabel 

Sleep my little black baby / And I will buy for you a new baby crib 

That should have a top cap and also a bell

If you sleep I will bring you a very red mamey 

If you don't I will bring you a babalao / That will give you pau pau 

The feet of the little black baby / Come out of her crib 

And the black Merce' doesn't know what to do 

Sleep my little black baby / And I will buy for you a new baby crib 

That should have a top cap and also a bell 

If you sleep I will bring you a very red mamey 

If you don't I will bring you a babalao / That will give you pau pau. 

mamey: Cuban fruit
