Rebelión

I want to tell you, my brother
A little piece of the black history
Of our history, sir
And it goes like this
Uh
It says

In the sixteen hundreds
When the tyrant ruled
The streets of Cartagena
That story lived

When those slave traders arrived here
Africans in chains
They kissed my land
Perpetual slavery
(Perpetual slavery)
(Perpetual slavery)

Let Salomé say it
And let it be, hey
Changó, Changó, Changó

An African couple
Slaves of a Spaniard
He treated them very badly
And he hit his black woman

And it was there
The handsome black man rebelled
He took revenge for his love
And it's still heard at the gate
Don't hit my black woman
(Don't hit the black woman)
(Don't hit the black woman)

Hey, man
Don't hit the black woman
(Don't hit the black woman)
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
(Don't hit the black woman)

Hey, that black woman is respected
(Don't hit the black woman)
Hey, it's still heard, heard at the gate
(Don't hit the black woman)
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, don't hit the black woman
(Don't hit the black woman)
Black woman, who tells me
Chambalequete, chambalequete
(Don't hit the black woman)

(Don't hit the black woman)
(Don't hit the black woman)
(Don't hit the black woman)
Don't hit her

And now, Chelito de Castro

Let's see who hits the girl
(Don't hit the black woman)
Because the soul, that the soul
That the soul, that the soul
That the soul breaks for me
(Don't hit the black woman)
Hey, no, no, no, no, no, don't hit my black woman
(Don't hit the black woman)
Because my soul stirs, my dark-skinned woman
(Don't hit the black woman)

El Chombo knows it
And you too
(Don't hit the black woman)
