Eartha Kitt does "Angelitos Negros" so well but I want to get the lyrics. I have searched the web for hours with no luck. Is there anybody out there(!) who has the lyrics? Please respond to [e-mail]

Ah Mundo! La Negra Juana,
i la mano que le paso!
se le murió su negrito,
si, senor.
First verse of a long poem-song or:

Pintor nacido en mi tierra
con el pincel extranjero
Pintor que sigues el rumbo
De tantos pintores viejos.

I will email one or both.

Chords here: Angelitos
There may me more than one tune version of this poem by the Venezuelan, Andres Eloy Blanco. The song, as sung by Eartha Kitt and others, is a short, revised version of the poem.
If anyone discovers other chord patterns, please post.

This one was quick and easy because the song is still popular in Latin America. The original poem also pops up quickly on Google because the author is well-known throughout the Spanish-speaking world, and multiple sites quote him.
