Sleep my little black baby /
And I will buy for you a new baby crib
That should have a top cap and also a bell
If you sleep
I will bring you a very red mamey
If you don't
I will bring you a babalao /
That will give you pau pau
The feet of the little black baby /
Come out of her crib
And the black
Merce' doesn't know what to do
Sleep my little black baby /
And I will buy for you a new baby crib
That should have a top cap and also a bell
If you sleep
I will bring you a very red mamey
If you don't
I will bring you a babalao /
That will give you pau pau.mamey:
