En Blanco Y Negro
Pablo Milanés
In black and white
How glad I am
What do you paint with me in black and white
Graffiti on the walls of the planet
And if a color is missing from my palette
You give it to me.
Because the story
With its heads and its tails
She gets naked in the light
Of the memory.
Don't be discouraged,
Hurry up,
that we change songs
For smiles.
And in this vis-a-vis
Need
Your carmine lips.
show your teeth
At the moment
that gathering your voice
With your brother's voice
They are much more than two
A white Asturian and a Cuban
As black as coal.
That's why to the side
With Pablo he sang a son
In black and white with "filin" and with swing,
In black and white the night and the jasmine,
In black and white the victim and the judge,
In black and white by lorca and guillén,
In black and white ink and paper,
In black and white the cider and the mamey,
In black and white up that curtain,
The show begins in black and white.
Add yellow
from china
and a red heart
To the chorus
To dance you a son
with your neighbor
Hot and tasty.
And if you open the windows
From Havana,
Madrid or new york,
Behind a black sky
You may see a god
Mulato drawing the rainbow
With your marker.
Therefore, to the side
With Victor he sang a son
In black and white with "filin" and with swing,
In black and white the night and the jasmine,
In black and white the victim and the judge,
In black and white by lorca and guillén,
In black and white ink and paper,
In black and white the cider and the mamey,
In black and white like ebony and ivory
black and white shoe and luther king
In black and white with elf and with flavor
In black and white machin and shrimp
In black and white up that curtain,
The show begins in black and white.
