| She, she came from the land of the cotton
| Ella, ella vino de la tierra del algodón
|
| A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
| Una tierra que fue casi olvidada por todos
|
| She, she worked and she slaved so hard
| Ella, ella trabajó y esclavizó tan duro
|
| A big old field was her backyard in the Delta sun
| Un campo grande y viejo era su patio trasero bajo el sol del Delta
|
| Oh, she sure could sing
| Oh, seguro que podría cantar
|
| Oh, she sure could sing
| Oh, seguro que podría cantar
|
| Then he looked down and he took a little pity
| Luego miró hacia abajo y se compadeció un poco
|
| The whole town swore he decided he’d help her some
| Todo el pueblo juró que decidió que la ayudaría un poco.
|
| And he didn’t mind if she wasn’t very pretty
| Y no le importaba si ella no era muy bonita
|
| Deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
| En el fondo de su corazón sabía que ella era la única
|
| Oh, she sure could sing
| Oh, seguro que podría cantar
|
| Yes, she sure could sing
| Sí, ella seguro que podría cantar
|
| She had faith and she had believing
| Ella tenía fe y ella tenía creer
|
| She led all the people together in singing
| Condujo a todo el pueblo a cantar
|
| And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
| Y rezaba todas las noches al Señor arriba
|
| Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
| Cantando aleluya, aleluya
|
| They used to walk singing songs by the river
| Caminaban cantando canciones por el río
|
| Even when she knew for sure she’d have to go away
| Incluso cuando sabía con certeza que tendría que irse
|
| She, she never knew what her life was to give her
| Ella, ella nunca supo lo que era su vida para darle
|
| Never had to worry about it for one single day
| Nunca tuve que preocuparme por eso ni un solo día
|
| Oh my, she sure could sing
| Oh, ella seguro que podría cantar
|
| Yeah, she sure could sing
| Sí, seguro que podría cantar
|
| She had faith and she had believing
| Ella tenía fe y ella tenía creer
|
| She led all the people together in singing
| Condujo a todo el pueblo a cantar
|
| And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
| Y rezaba todas las noches al Señor arriba
|
| Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
| Cantando aleluya, aleluya

|
| Oh yea, she sure could sing

|
| My my my, she sure could sing
