The black woman
The empress of Tijuco
The owner of Diamantina
She lived with her court
Surrounded by beautiful maids
In a castle in Chácara da Palha
With solid and refined architecture
Where there was even an artificial lake
And a luxurious galley
That her love, João Fernandes, the contractor
Had made
Just for her

Xica da Silva
The black woman
Very rich and envied
Feared and hated
Because with her wigs
Each one a different color
Jewels, exotic clothes
From the Indies, Lisbon, and Paris
The black woman was required to be received
As a great lady of the court
Of King Luís
Of King Luís's court
