Entre tu casa y mi casa
Será el calor que no abraza
No es de gozo, no es de ira
Como tampoco es mentira
Que algo de mi se ha escondido
Entre tu talle y mi alma
O, un cariño adormecido
Yo sabré reír
Yo sabré llorar
Yo sabré entregarte mi cariño
Negra, Negra que te quiero
(Goza)
Negra presuntuosa
(Mira)
Que me estoy muriendo
(Dame)
Vida de tu boca
(Boca)
Que me esta pisando los talones
De la libertad
Negra, Negra que te quiero

Será tal vez la esperana
O, un cariño adormecido
Yo sabré reír
Yo sabré llorar
Yo sabré entregarte mi cariño
