La negrita llamaba a su madre
The dark-skinned woman was calling her mother
Y así le decía
And this is what she said
Mami el negro 'tá rabioso
Babe, the dark-skinned man is furious
Quiere pelea conmigo, decíselo a mi papa
He wants a fight with me, tell my dad
Mami yo me acuesto tranquila
Babe, I go to bed peacefully
Me arropo pie' cabeza y el negro me destapa
I cover myself head to toe and the dark-skinned man uncovers me
Mami, ¿qué será lo que quiere el negro?
Babe, what does the dark-skinned man want?
Ay, ¿qué será lo que quiere el negro?
Oh, what does the dark-skinned man want?
Mami, ¿qué será lo que quiere el negro?
Babe, what does the dark-skinned man want?

Rabioso literally translates to "rabid," but in this context, it means "furious" or "enraged." It's a strong and evocative word that immediately grabs attention.
In the song, the lyrics say, "Mami el negro 'tá rabioso, Quiere pelea conmigo" (Mommy, the Black man is furious, he wants to fight with me). This word perfectly captures the intense and somewhat comical conflict described in the song, making it memorable and intriguing for learners.
