El Negro Bembón |
The Black
Bembon * (Celia Cruz) The black Bembon was killed And today there’s weeping day and night Because everyone loved the black bembon And the police arrived And they arrested the murderer, and a black cop Who was also a Bembon Had the bad luck of leading the investigation And do you know what question he asked the murderer? Let’s see, tell me, why did you kill him? And do you know what answer the murderer gave him? I killed him for being such a Bembon The cop hid his lips, and he said That’s not the reason That’s not the reason I killed him for being such a Bembon! Said the murderer That’s not the reason Get away murderer, get away murderer, flee That’s not the reason I’m leaving That’s not the reason Hide your lips ‘cos here comes the murderer Hide your lips ‘cos he’s coming Hide your lips ‘cos they killed the black Bembon |
