Negro
Laurel Aitken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Soy negro, de tierra adentro

...no tengo mama
...no tengo papa
...no tengo mama
...no tengo papa

Soy negro, de tierra adentro
y vengo a la ciudad
porque vivo solo...




lleno de soledad
y busco una ni

Overall Meaning

ña, una mujer
que me brinde su amistad


These lyrics are from Laurel Aitken's song "Negro". The song talks about the struggles of a black man who is alone and lonely, without any parental support. He comes from a rural area and moves to the city in search of companionship, love and acceptance. The verses of "Soy negro, de tierra adentro" represent the singer's identity as a black man from the hinterlands, who is always looked down upon and discriminated against due to his color. He, however, still seeks to find someone to share his life with and to help him ease his pain of loneliness.


The song's central theme is racial prejudice and how it affects the people who are its victims. The singer of the song talks about how he struggles to belong and how hopeless he feels about his future. Even though he has nothing in terms of material possessions, he still has the desire to be loved and accepted. This showcases the human need for connection and belonging, something that transcends all boundaries of race or culture.
