The Black Child Was Born
A black child is born (where?)
In a shack (in a shack)
On a plantation
The liberation front is born (hallelujah!)
A black child is born (hallelujah!)
In a shack (hallelujah!)
On a plantation (hallelujah!)
The liberation front is born (hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! Bread for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast, with a fork
Hallelujah! I want bread for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast
(Let's go!, [little step] we're leaving!)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)
The black child was born (tell me where!)
In a shack (in a shack)
On a plantation
The liberation front is born (hallelujah!)
The black child was born (hallelujah!)
In a shack (hallelujah!)
On a plantation (hallelujah!)
The liberation front is born (hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! Bread for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast, with a fork
Hallelujah! I want bread, bread, bread for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast
(Now yes) (juuump!)
(Hey mamacita!)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)
Tsss, hey buddy!
I tell you, Aunt Clarisa had a little boy
A little boy in the shack
There is the child, uncomfortable
Between the mule and the ox, do you see him?
The little musician is uncomfortable
Black, beautiful, nose like a little cane, do you see him?
Purple, purple, he was born
Breaking svampa pescozones come the shepherds
From Siuna, Curinguaja, and Monimbó
Aaah!, hehehehe
And they bring for the black child
Honey from jicote and pijebaye
Yucca, ñamé, fish and rondón
Peanuts, cocoa, and good bread, pati panqué!
A little bag of rice and beans!
Aaah, and, of course, you know, godmother?
Godmother Nicolasaa!, do you know what they brought for the black child?
A drum, that rings like this!
Hallelujah! Bread for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast, with a fork
Hallelujah! I want bread, bread, bread for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast
Hallelujah! Bread for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast, with a fork
Hallelujah! I want bread, bread, bread, bread, for the poor
(For the rich, a feast, hallelujah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Hallelujah! I want bread, bread, bread, bread, bread, for the poor
Hallelujah! For the rich, a feast
