Lyrics

Español

Suenan los negros candombes, la fiesta está en lo mejor, la negra que fue alegría en todo baile anterior, está sola y está triste no la anima ni el bailar, todos le piden que cante y su canto es un llorar. ¡Negrito, todos me piden que cante y yo tengo una pena muy honda clavada en el corazón! ¡Negrito, sólo a ti puedo cantarte! Los tambores te llaman, te llama mi llanto ¿porqué no vendrás? La negrada se alborota pues muy triste es la canción y quieren con el candombe alegrar esa reunión. Mas la negra con su pena repite cual oración: ¡Negrito, quieren que cante y sangra mi corazón!

English · machine translation

The black candombes are playing, the party is at its best, the black woman who was joy in every dance before is alone and sad she's alone and sad, she can't even dance, everyone asks her to sing and her song is a cry. Negrito, everyone asks me to sing and I have a sorrow deep in my heart in my heart! Negrito, I can only sing to you! The drums call you, my cry calls you why won't you come? The negrada is in an uproar for the song is very sad and they want with candombe to brighten up the gathering. But the black woman with her sorrow repeats like a prayer: Negrito, they want me to sing and my heart bleeds!
