Rebelión

In the sixteen hundreds
When the tyrant ruled
The streets of Cartagena
That story came to life

When those slave traders arrived here
Africans in chains kissed my land
Perpetual slavery
(Perpetual slavery)
(Perpetual slavery)

An African couple
Slaves to a Spaniard
He treated them very badly
And hit his black woman

And there, the handsome black man rebelled
He took 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)

Hey man, don't hit the black woman
(Don't hit the black woman)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't hit, don't hit
(Don't hit the black woman)
Hey, that black woman deserves respect
(Don't hit the black woman)
Hey, it's still heard, heard at the gate
(Don't hit the black woman)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't hit the black woman
(Don't hit)

Don't hit the black woman
That black woman deserves respect
(Don't hit the black woman)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Listen to how it goes, listen to how it goes
(Don't hit the black woman)
Hey, because the black man rebels against you
(Don't hit the black woman)
No no no no no, don't hit the black woman
Don't hit
