Pintor nacido en mi tierra
Con el pincel extranjero,
Pintor que sigues el rumbo
De tantos pintores viejos.
Aunque la vrtgen sea blanca
Pintale angelitos negros
Que tambien se van al cielo
Todos los negritos buenos.
Pintor, si pintas con amor
Por que desprecias su color,
Si sabes que en el cielo
Tambien, ay tambien los quiere dios.
Pintor de santos y alcobas
Si tienes algo en el cuerpo,
Por que al pintar tantos cuadros
Te olvidaste de los negros.
Siempre que pintas iglesias
Pintas angelitos bellos,
Pero nunca te acordaste
De pintar un angel negro.
