  • Hey Negrita, hey now
    Move your body, move your mouth
    Shake lady, way down south
    Shake baby, in your home town

    Come si chiama, what's you game
    I'm just a poor man, what's your name
    Shake your body, do it up now
    Shake body, move it up now

    Hey Negrita, hey now
    Hey conchita, shake it up now
    Bate las caderas, do it up now

    Flash of gold in your ears, child
    Flash of gold in your eyes
    Saw the gleam in your mouth
    Saw the steel in your thighs
    Do it up now

    Bate las caderas, do it up now
    Just a momentita, not so fast
    I need money, my sweet ass
    Listen I'm a poor man
    My pay is low
    Here's one last dollar, then we go
    "One last dollar," she say "I got my pride"
    Going to get your boss, boy
    Going to tan your hide

    Hey Negrita, hey now
    Hey Negrita, do it right now Writer/s: KEITH RICHARDS, MICK JAGGER

  • Jan Cornelissen from Brasschaat BelgiumBeing a huge fan of the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, it is my pleasure to add my humble comment. For people who are really interested in music : listen to "Who Knows" on Jimi's record "Band of Gypsys" and compare it with "Hey Negrita". It's the same riff and the same rhyme scheme, so the lyrics are interchangeable. The Rolling Stones have always been very careful with admitting their influences and this is very understandable as the example of "My Sweet Lord" all too sadly illustrates.
