Sleep, Little Black One
Sleep, sleep, little black one
Your mom is in the field, little black one
Sleep, sleep, my love
Your mom is in the field, my love
She will bring quails for you
She will bring delicious fruit for you
She will bring pork for you
She will bring many things for you
And if the little black one doesn't sleep
The white devil will come
And bam! He'll eat his little foot
Chicapumba, chicapumba
Apumba, chicapumba
Sleep, sleep, little black one
Your mom is in the field, little black one
Working
Working hard, working, yes
Working and dressed in mourning, working, yes
Working and not getting paid, working, yes
Working and coughing, working, yes
For the little black one
For the little black one, yes
Working, yes, working, yes
Sleep, sleep, little black one
Your mom is in the field, little black one
Little black one, little black one
