Negra Francisca

Black Francisca, truly beautiful black woman
You come down to the courtyard, bringing joy
You only ask for your white and cinnamon
And the miracle you will perform

You came from Africa to Venezuelan lands
In love with Felipe you are
You're good at cooking, but the 'mantilla'
You never learned to speak
In the sessions, everyone waits for your arrival
Your revelry makes us happy
No one can get angry with your way of speaking
We miss you when you can't come down to the sessions
I will offer you your white and cinnamon

Black Francisca, truly beautiful black woman
You come down to the courtyard, bringing joy
You only ask for your white and cinnamon
And the miracle you will perform

I just come to ask you something, my beautiful black woman
That you always help us not to lack bread
And help those who don't have it to give bread as well
And comfort the sick and prisoners who are here today
Console them with your peace, and for Venezuela
Never stop advocating, we want to offer peace today
For those of us who live in it today
And for those who are abroad today

Black Francisca, truly beautiful black woman
You come down to the courtyard, bringing joy
You only ask for your white and cinnamon
And the miracle you will perform
