Something of mine is lost Between your house and mine It's the heat that doesn't singe Not from joy Not from anger Nor is it a lie That something of yours is Hidden Between your street and my soul
Maybe it's the hope Of a sleepy love I'll know how to laugh I'll know how to cry I'll know how to give you My love Black girl Black girl, I love you Enjoy Pretentious black girl Look I'm dying Give me Life from your mouth Boot That is crushing me The talons of freedom
Algo de mi se ha perdido Entre tu casa why mi casa Será el calor que no abrasa No es de gozo No es de ira Como tampoco es mentira Que algo de ti se ha escondido Entre tu calle why mi alma Será tal vez la esperanza De un cariño adormecido Yo sabré reír Yo sabré llorar Yo sabré entregarte mi cariño Negra Negra que te quiero Goza Negra presentuosa Mira Que me estoy muriendo Dame Vida de tu boca Bota Que me está pisando Los talones de la libertad
****** Note from the artist: 'Negra Presuntuosa' is how we refer to young black girls who, in the fullness of youth, make weapons of seduction and the power of flirtatiousness
