Little black angels

Painter born in my land
With a foreign paintbrush
A painter who follows the course
Of so many old painters
 
Although the Virgin is white
Paint me the little black angels
Who also go to heaven
All the good little black angels
 
Painter, if you paint with love
Why do you despise their color
If you know that in heaven
God loves them too?
 
Painter of saints and bedrooms
If you have something in your body
Why, when do you paint your paintings,
Did you forget about the blacks?
 
Whenever you paint churches
You paint the beautiful angels
But you never remembered
To paint a black angel
 
Painter, if you paint with love
Why do you despise their color
If you know that in heaven
God loves them too?
 
Painter of saints and bedrooms
If you have something in your body
Why, when do you paint your paintings,
Did you forget about the blacks?
 
Whenever you paint churches
Paint me the little black angels
But you never remembered
To paint a black angel
 
Although the Virgin is white
Paint me the little black angels
The little black angels
Who also
Who also go to heaven
All, all the little
Little, Little
Little angels

La-la-la
