Pintor nacido en mi tierra
Con el pincel extranjero
Pintor que sigues el rumbo
De tantos pintores viejos
Aunque la Virgen sea blanca
Píntamé angelitos negros
Que también se van al cielo
Todos los negritos buenos
¿Pintor si pintas con amor
Por qué desprecias su color
Si sabes que en el cielo
También los quiere Dios?
Pintor de cuadros de alcoba
Si tienes alma en el cuerpo
¿Por qué al pintar en tus cuadros
Te olvidaste de los negros?
Siempre que pintas iglesias
Pintas angelitos bellos
Pero nunca te acordaste
De pintar un ángel negro
