Scandalize my name

Os ofrezco la letra del espiritual negro que cantan Jessye Norman y Kathleen Battle. No había entendido nada al escucharlas. ¡Qué pena de inglés! El autor es Paul Robeson. Si alguien la traduce, que me la mande y yo la pongo también aquí.


I met my brother the other day
And gave him my right hand
As soon as ever my back was turned
He scandalized my name

Now do you call that a brother?
No, no
You call that a brother?
No, no
You call that a brother
No, no
Scandalize my name

I met my sister the other day
And gave her my right hand
As soon as ever my back was turned
She too scandalized my name

Now do you call that a sister?
No, no
You call that a sister?
No, no
You call that a sister?
No, no
Scandalize my name

I met my preacher the other day
And gave him my right hand
As soon as ever my back was turned
He too scandalized my name

Now do you call that religion?
No, no
You call that religion?
No, no
You call that religion?
No, no
Scandalize my name.
