Salsa Negra

Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta;
Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta,

That's what they say when he comes around here,
To see you every night.
Because the people here don't like him,
They say his color, girl, ain't right.

Well, alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta,
Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta.

It's not exactly custom in the island from where you come,
For you to go with a man like that.
A man who can make you black.

Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta;
Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta.

Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta;
Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta.

Every time he comes around here
Everybody puts you down.
They say, "What you doin' with a man like that?"
Even though he is no clown.

He is going to leave you
Just like he left her.
All the girls he's had in town.
Everybody sure don't like him.
'Cuz you know his skin is brown.

Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta;
Alli viene el Negro, alli viene el Negro, mulatta.
