Sleep, sleep, little black one,
your mama's in the fields, little one.
Sleep, sleep little one.

She's going to bring quail for you,
she's going to bring fresh fruit for you,
she's going to bring pork for you,
sh's going to bring many things for you.

And if the black one doesn't go to sleep,
the white devil will come and zap!
he'll eat your little foot, chicabú;
hurry, chicabú!

Sleep, sleep little black one,
your mama's in the fields, little one.

She's working hard, working, yes,
working and they don't pay her, working, yes,
working and she's coughing, working, yes,
for her sweet little black one,
for her little one, yes.
