El negrito Sambú
                                             María L. Muñoz y Angeles Pastor

Mamá Numbo me hizo este traje bonito.
Papá Yumbo me trajo estos lindos zapatitos.
Mírame, voy de paseo, mírame al bosque voy,
Que contento yo me siento, y que bonito estoy.
Con mi chaquetita roja, y mi pantalón azul,
me conoces amiguito, aquí está Sambú.


(english version)
Little Black Sambo

Mama Numbo has made me this new suit and it's pretty;
Papa Yumbo has brought me these new shoes from out the city;
Look at me out of your window, look at me as I stroll by!
Oh, how happy I am feeling, for who's as smart as I?
In my little bright-blue trousers, in my scarlet jacket, ho!
I will shout to all the world: "Here comes litttle black Sambo!"
