Little Black Angels (Angelitos Negros)
(originally by Eartha Kitt)
Painters painting halos
Pictures of only white angels
Painter painting hard-times
In shadows of yesterday
Following all the wicked strokes
The painter from ages gone
Painters painting saints in church
How do you know that God is white?
Painter
If you paint with love
Paint me some black angels now
For good blacks in Heaven
Painter, show us that you care
How come you forget the blacks?
If God wants good blacks with him
How come you don't paint our skin?
If you put love in your art
We blacks have love in our soul
Painters, it's in your churches too
Painter painting all angels
Paint me some black angels now
Painter
If you paint with love
Paint me some black angels now
For good blacks in Heaven
Paint me some black angels now
Paint me some black angels now
Paint me some black angels now
