Susana Baca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entre tu casa y 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 y mi alma
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
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
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
Negra
Negra que te quiero
Goza
Negra presentuosa
Mira
Que me estoy muriendo
Dame
Vida de tu boca
Bota
Vida de tu boca, hay hay hay
Dame dame dame
Negra mentirosa
Negra negra negra
Goza
Goza
Negra mentirosa
Negra presuntuosa
The lyrics of Susana Baca's song "Negra Presentuosa" speak to a lost connection between two people. The singer feels that something has been lost between her house and her lover's house, and wonders if it is the passion that they once had. She recognizes that something within her lover has also changed, as if a hope for something more has been buried deep within them. Despite these uncertainties, the singer ultimately asserts that she knows how to love deeply and will give her all to her "Negra presentuosa."
The repeated refrain of "negra que te quiero, goza" can be interpreted in a few different ways. "Negra" literally means "black" and is often used in Latin American culture as a term of endearment for women with darker skin tones. In this context, the singer may be telling her lover that despite any issues they are facing, she loves her deeply and wants her to enjoy life. Additionally, the term "goza" can mean "enjoy" or "have a good time," so the singer may be urging her lover to find joy in their relationship despite any difficulties.
Overall, the lyrics of "Negra Presentuosa" speak to the complexities of love and relationships, acknowledging that there will be ups and downs but asserting that true love can withstand them all.
