Painter born in my land
with the foreign brush,
painter who follows the course
of so many black painters.
Although the Virgin is white,
paint some little black angels,
who go to the heaven too,
Those of them who are good.
Painter, if you paint with love
why do you refuse their colour
if you know that God want them too
in the heaven.
Saints-of-bedroom painter
if you have soul in your body,
why you did forget of the black ones
when painting.
Whenever you are painting churches,
you are painting little nice angels,
but you did not remember
to paint a black angel.

(1) better: painter of bedroom saints, or painter of saints of the bedroom
(I don't understand what "saints of the bedroom" are.)
I think that it has to do with the old bedroom where people like to have religious pictures, especially from Murillo painter.
