In the 1600s
When the tyrant killed
The streets of Cartagena
That story lived
When here
Slave traders arrived
Africans in chains
They kissed my land
Perpetual slavery
Perpetual slavery
Perpetual slavery
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
As 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
Listen brother, don't hit the black woman
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't hit her now, don't hit her now
Listen, that black woman must be respected
Listen, it's still heard, the gate is still heard
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
No-no-no, don't hit the black woman
That black woman must be respected
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, listen how it goes, listen how it goes
Because the black man rebels against you
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
No-no-no, don't hit the black woman
