Click to return to the Folkloric and Popular Songbook of Honduras
Negrita, my heart was born to love you (repeat)
And if you know how to love and if you know how to care
And if you know how to feel, remember me
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú. (repeat)
I saw a sharp dagger aimed at me (repeat)
By a beautiful young woman, by a beautiful young woman
By a beautiful young woman, whom I saw with my eyes
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú. (repeat)
I’m traveling the world not just for the sake of it (repeat)
I’m a rooster and I have spurs, I’m a rooster and I have spurs
I’m a rooster and I have spurs, I can sing wherever I go
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú. (repeat)
Negrita, if you love me, don’t let it be known (repeat)
Because people in this town, people in this town
Because people in this town even pay to find out
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú. (repeat)
With this, I bid farewell and goodbye because I’m leaving (repeat)
That only in your arms, only in your arms
That only in your arms, I can find peace
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú,
Candú, candú, candú. (repeat)
