Milonga En Negro

In a black house over there
Under a black sky
Where in a black moment
A black scene unfolds
Where the owner of the house is black
And black are its inhabitants
But very gallant blacks
And not lacking in education

Black Mrs. Tomasa
Has a black daughter
She intends to marry her black daughter
To another black man
Turns out the black boyfriend
All with a black idea
Wants the party to be black
The most unique

They go to a black church
Of their black religion
Where with a black shawl
A black friar was waiting
A black sacristan was there
Sitting in a black armchair
And with black devotion
A black man kissed Christ

The groom and the bride are black
The father-in-law and mother-in-law are black
The godmother is black
The godfather is black too
Their clothes are black too
And the audience is black
Who with their black presence
Smelled like black wine

After this black ceremony
The black mother-in-law invites
With a black meal
Invites the black one
To pass to a black room
Where the blackest ones were
Finishing dinner

After this black party
The black newlyweds left
Went up to a black room
Spread black sheets
And at midnight
They did black things
The black woman slept in the bed
And the black man slept on the floor
