El Negrito Contento

I’m a happy little black man
Who gives a thousand thanks to God
For blessing me with the gift
Of being born in Chocó
The wondrous land that under its cloak of fertile green
Holds jealously, a shy owner
Of gold and platinum, my native treasure
For that and so much more
I shout happily, it’s me!
To the four winds, how beautiful is my land
How happy I am

Oh! Chocó, Chocó, Chocó, Chocó, Chocó

If I’m far from you
Nostalgia overwhelms me
Because your memory is within me
Your nights adorned with a thousand stars and
Stars that in the sky frame
A moon that shines like silver
Over by the riverbank
A little farmhouse
Small, humble, and beautiful, oh!
So beautiful that stars and lights
From the blue sky send flirty winks of light

I’m a happy little black man
Who gives a thousand thanks to God
For blessing me with the gift
Of being born in Chocó
The wondrous land that under its cloak of fertile green
Holds jealously, a shy owner
Of gold and platinum, my native treasure
For that and so much more
I shout happily, it’s me!
To the four winds, how beautiful is my land
How happy I am

Oh! Chocó, Chocó, Chocó, Chocó, Chocó

If I’m far from you
Nostalgia overwhelms me
Because your memory is within me
Your nights adorned with a thousand stars and
Stars that in the sky mark
A moon that shines like silver
Over by the riverbank
A little farmhouse
Small, humble, and beautiful
So beautiful that stars and lights
From the blue sky send flirty winks of light

Chocó, Chocó

I’m, oh! A happy little black man
