Angelitos Negros
Niña Pastori
Little Black Angels
Painter born in my land
With a foreign brush
Painter, you follow the path
Of so many old painters
Even if the Virgin is white
Paint me little black angels
Because they go to heaven too
All the good little black kids
Painter
If you paint with love
Then why
Do you disregard their color?
If you know that in heaven
God loves them too
Painter of bedroom saints
If you have a soul in your body
Why when you paint your pictures
Did you forget about the black folks?
Whenever you paint churches
You paint beautiful little angels
But you never remembered
To paint a black angel
Painter of bedroom saints
If you have a soul in your body
Why when you paint your pictures
Did you forget about the black folks?
Whenever you paint churches
You paint beautiful little angels
But you never remembered
To paint a black angel
