ANGELITOS NEGROS Lyrics

LYRICS: Eloy Blanco and Alvarez Maciste
MUSIC: Eloy Blanco, Alvarez Maciste and Orquesta de Francisco Canaro

Pintor nacido en mi tierra,
con el pincel extranjero, 
pintor que siques el rumbo,
de tantos pintores viejos.

Aunque la virgen sea blanca,
pintame angelitos negros,
que tambien se van al cielo,
todos los negritos buenos.

Pintor si pintas con amor,
¿porque desprecias su color,
si sabes que en el cielo,
tambien los quiere dios?.

Pintor de santos de alcoba,
si tienes alma en el cuerpo,
¿porque al pintar en tus cuadros,
te olvidaste de los negros?.

Siempre que pintas iglesias,
pintas angelitos bellos,
pero nunca te acordaste,
de pintar un angel negro.

Quote of the Day

The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina. -Yo-Yo Ma
