Black, Brown And White
Big Bill Broonzy
Negro, Marrón y Blanco
Black, Brown And White
Esta pequeña canción sobre la que estoy cantando
This little song that I'm singin' about
Gente que conoces es verdad
People you know it's true
Si eres negro y tienes que trabajar para vivir
If you're black and gotta work for a living
Esto es lo que te dirán
This is what they will say to you
Dicen: si eras blanco, debería estar bien
They says: If you was white, should be all right
Si eras marrón, quédate
If you was brown, stick around
Pero como eres negro, hmm, hermano, vuelve, vuelve, vuelve
But as you's black, hmm, brother, get back, get back, get back
Estuve en un lugar una noche
I was in a place one night
Todos se estaban divirtiendo
They was all having fun
Todos estaban comprando cerveza y vino
They was all buyin' beer and wine
Pero no me vendieron ninguno
But they would not sell me none
Dijeron: si eras blanco, debería estar bien
They said: If you was white, should be all right
Si eras marrón, quédate
If you was brown, stick around
Pero si eres negro, hmm hermano, regresa, regresa, regresa
But if you black, hmm brother, get back, get back, get back
Yo y un hombre estábamos trabajando lado a lado
Me and a man was workin' side by side
Esto es lo que significaba
This is what it meant
Le pagaban un dólar por hora
They was paying him a dollar an hour
Y me pagaban cincuenta centavos
And they was paying me fifty cent
Dijeron: si eras blanco, no debería estar bien
They said: If you was white, 't should be all right
Si fuera marrón, podría quedarse
If you was brown, could stick around
Pero como eres negro, hmm chico, regresa, regresa, regresa
But as you black, hmm boy, get back, get back, get back
Fui a una oficina de empleo
I went to an employment office
Tengo un número y me puse en línea
Got a number 'n' I got in line
Llamaron al número de todos
They called everybody's number
Pero nunca llamaron a la mía
But they never did call mine
Dijeron: si eras blanco, debería estar bien
They said: If you was white, should be all right
Si fuera marrón, podría quedarse
If you was brown, could stick around
Pero como eres negro, hmm hermano, regresa, regresa, regresa
But as you black, hmm brother, get back, get back, get back
Espero cuando dulce victoria
I hope when sweet victory
Con mi arado y azada
With my plough and hoe
Ahora quiero que me digas hermano
Now I want you to tell me brother
¿Qué vas a hacer con el viejo Jim Crow?
What you gonna do about the old Jim Crow?
Ahora si eras blanco, debería estar bien
Now if you was white, should be all right
Si fuera marrón, podría quedarse
If you was brown, could stick around
Pero si eres negro, hermano, regresa, regresa, regresa
But if you black, whoa brother, get back, get back, get back
