Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Send him to the fields, send him to the warsEnvíalo a los campos, envíalo a las guerras
Send him on down to slave on the farmsEnvíalo a trabajar como esclavo en las granjas
Steal his land, rob his soulRobarle su tierra, robarle su alma
Send him on down to dig that holeEnvíalo a cavar ese hoyo
Give him no hope, give him no trialNo le des esperanza, no le des pruebas
Put him in chains, break that smilePonle cadenas, rompele esa sonrisa
Pull that barge, tote that baleTira de esa barcaza, carga ese fardo
Listen to him singin', hear him wailEscúchalo cantar, escúchalo gemir
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
Give him no peace, give him no restNo le deis paz, no le deis descanso
Teach him to believe your god is the bestEnséñale a creer que tu dios es el mejor
Sail him away, to the promised landNavega lejos, hacia la tierra prometida
Send him on down into his masters handEnvíalo a las manos de su amo
Take his woman, take his childToma a su mujer, toma a su hijo
Take him on down to the murder mileLlévalo hasta la milla del asesinato
Pull that barge, tote that baleTira de esa barcaza, carga ese fardo
What's that song you can hear him wail¿Cuál es esa canción que lo escuchas gemir?
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
Now you wonder why he's an angry manAhora te preguntas por qué es un hombre enojado
Why there's fire in your father's land¿Por qué hay fuego en la tierra de tu padre?
And wonder now what tomorrow will bringY me pregunto ahora qué traerá el mañana
Will you hear him screamin', will you hear him sing¿Lo oirás gritar? ¿Lo oirás cantar?
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboyNo le harías eso a un chico blanco
