| Black girl, black girl, don’t lie to me
| Negrita, negrita, no me mientas
|
| Where did you sleep last night?
| ¿Donde dormiste anoche?
|
| In the pines, in the pines
| En los pinos, en los pinos
|
| Where the sun never shines
| Donde el sol nunca brilla
|
| I shivered the whole night through
| Temblé toda la noche
|
| My daddy was a railway man
| Mi papá era ferroviario
|
| Died a mile and a half from town
| Murió a una milla y media de la ciudad
|
| His head was found in a driver wheel
| Su cabeza fue encontrada en una rueda de conductor
|
| His body has never been found
| Su cuerpo nunca ha sido encontrado.
|
| I wish to my Lord I had never seen your face
| Ojalá mi Señor nunca hubiera visto tu rostro
|
| Heard your lying tongue
| Escuché tu lengua mentirosa
|
| You cause me to weep and you cause me to moan
| Me haces llorar y me haces gemir
|
| I’m sorry you ever were born
| Lamento que hayas nacido
|
| My daddy’s ma was an engineer
| La mamá de mi papá era ingeniera
|
| My sister drove a hack van
| Mi hermana conducía una furgoneta pirata
|
| I worked out in the engine yard
| Hice ejercicio en el patio de máquinas
|
| All day I balled the jack
| Todo el día jugué el gato
|
| Black girl, black girl, don’t lie to me
| Negrita, negrita, no me mientas
|
| Tell me where, where did you sleep last night?
| Dime, ¿dónde, dónde dormiste anoche?
|
| In the pines, in the pines
| En los pinos, en los pinos
|
| Where the sun never shines
| Donde el sol nunca brilla
|
| I shivered the whole night through | Temblé toda la noche |
