Algo de mí se ha perdido
Something of me has been lost
Entre tu casa y mi casa
Between your house and my house
Será el calor que no abraza
Perhaps it's the warmth that doesn't embrace
No es de gozo, no es de ira
It's not from joy, it's not from anger
Como tampoco es mentira
As it's not a lie either
Que algo de ti se ha escondido
That something of you has hidden away
Entre tu calle y mi alma
Between your street and my soul
Será tal vez la esperanza
Maybe it's the hope
De un cariño adormecido
Of a love that's fallen asleep
Yo sabré reír
I will know how to laugh
Yo sabré llorar
I will know how to cry
Yo sabré entregarte mi cariño
I will know how to give you my affection
¡Negra!
Black girl!
Negra que te quiero
Black girl I love you
¡Goza!
Enjoy!

¡Mira!
Look!

¡Dame!
Give me!
Vida de tu boca
Life from your lips
¡Bota!
Drop it!
Que me esta pisando
That is stepping on me
Los talones de la libertad

¡Negra!
Black!
Negra que te quiero

Que me esta pisando
That is stepping on me
Los talones de la libertad
The heels of freedom
Será tal vez la esperanza
Maybe it will be hope
De un cariño adormecido
Of a slumbering love
Yo sabré reír
I'll know how to laugh
Yo sabré llorar
I'll know how to cry
Yo sabré entregarte mi cariño
I'll know how to give you my love
