Xenia Rubinos - Don't Put Me In Red

Mulata tu caminas
Sola solita no acompaña
Dios te bendiga y favorezca
Tu eres la unica mama
Mira la negrita
Como baila el bembe
La mandan las brujitas
De Guayama y Cayey
Es la mas mala
Que nació en el batey
Y manda en la ley

Don't you put me in red
I hate it
Don't you put me in red
You don't know how much I hate it

Ask me where I'm going
Don't ask me where I'm from
I speak in three languages
You barely speak in one
Kids you put in cages
Look like they could be my sons
You forget we were here
When the west was won
Been gone for a while
So you thought I was done
Been through hell and back
And I've only just begun
Dress me
Undress me
I'm so spicy
You don't like me

Don't you put me in red
I hate it
Don't you put me in red
You don't know how much I hate it

Don't you put me in red
Oh, that's the color
You think I've been looking for

You put me in red
Oh, that's the color
You think I'll spend my life with

Oh, oh
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't
Don't, no, don't, don't, don't
I hate it, I hate it
