Where is my black woman dancing?Donde está mi negra bailando?
Carrying her little one, her little one dancing,Cargada de su guaguita de su guaguita bailando,
Carrying her little one singing.Cargada de su guaguita cantando.
Where has my black woman gone?Donde se ha metido mi negra?
With the Saya de Tundiqui dancing?Con la Saya de Tundiqui bailando?
With the Saya de Tundiqui singing?Con la Saya de Tundiqui cantando?
