Lamento do Negro

Lament of the Black

The black man's song is a lament
In the master's slave quarters...

The black man came from Angola
Saying his prayers
In hopes of wealth
Only to gain slavery...

The black man's song is the lament
In the master's slave quarters...

After hard work
Of abuse and suffering
The whip ate away every hour
Without clothes, water, or food...

The black man's song is the lament
In the master's slave quarters...

And with laughter and jokes
Patiently he waited
Capoeira gave warning
When someone approached...

The black man's song is the lament
In the master's slave quarters...
