Candombe Para Jose

In a forgotten town, I don't know why
And his dance as a dark-skinned man makes him move
In the town, they called him black Jose
Friend black Jose

With much love, black Jose plays candombe
He has the color of the night on his skin
He is very happy drumming, blissful he
Friend black Jose

Forgive me if I call you black Jose
You are a devil but friend black Jose
Your future goes with me black Jose
I tell you because I know

With much love the looks when dancing
And the drum of his eyes seems to speak
And his devilish shirt wants to jump
Friend black Jose

You don't seem to have any sorrows
But sorrows abound for you black Jose
That you leave them in the dance, I know very well
Friend black Jose

Forgive me if I call you, black Jose
You are a devil but friend black Jose
Your future goes with me black Jose
I tell you because I know
Friend black Jose
I tell you because I know
Friend black Jose
