Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
I want to die at night, to be killed in ambush
I want to die from whipping if you, black woman, leave me
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
My love, I'm leaving, in this land I'll die
One day I won't see anymore, I'll never see you again
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
Lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê
Lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
I want to die at night, to be killed in ambush
I want to die from whipping if you, black woman, leave me
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be (Lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê)
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
My love, I'm leaving, in this land I'll die
One day I won't see anymore, I'll never see you again
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be (Lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê, lerê...)
Black life is difficult, it's difficult as can be
