La negrita cucurumbé

The little black Cucurumbé

Se fué a bañar al mar

Went to bathe in the sea

Para ver si en las blancas olas

To see if in the white waves

Su carita podía blanquear

Her little face could whiten


La negrita cucurumbé

The little black Cucurumbé

A la playa se acercó

Approached the beach

Envidiando a las conchitas

Envying the little seashells

Por su pálido color

For their pale color


Quería ser blanca

She wanted to be white

Como la luna

Like the moon

Como la espuma

Like the foam

Que tiene el mar

That the sea has


Un pescado con bombín

A fish with a top hat

Se le acercó

Approached her

Y quitandose la bomba

And taking off his hat

La saludó

Greeted her

¡Pero válgame señor!

But dear Lord!

¿Pues qué no ves

Don't you see?

Que así negra estás bonita

That being black suits you

Negrita cucurumbé?

Little black Cucurumbé?


Un pescado con bombín

A fish with a top hat

Se le acercó

Approached her

Y moviendo la colita

And wagging its tail

Le preguntó

Asked her

¡Pero válgame mujer!

But dear woman!

¿Pues qué no ves

Don't you see?

Que bonita es tu carita

How beautiful your little face is

Negrita cucurumbé?

Little black Cucurumbé?
