Angeli Negri [English translation]

Painter, I'd like to talk to you

while you're painting an altar.

I'm a poor black person

and of one thing I beg you.

Even if the Virgin is white

paint me a black angel.

All children go to heaven

even if they are only negros.

I know, you paint with love

why do you despise my colour?

If He sees black children

God smiles to them.

I'm only a poor black person

but in the Lord I believe

and I know that He keeps beside him

even the negros that have cried.

I know, you paint with love

why do you despise my colour?

If he sees black children

God smiles to them.
