Lyrics

En un pueblo olvidado no se porque
Y su danza de moreno lo hace mover
En el pueblo lo llamaban negro José
Amigo negro José
Con amor candombea el negro José
Tiene el color de la noche sobre la piel
Es muy feliz candombeando dichoso él
Amigo negro José
Perdonáme si te digo negro José
Eres diablo pero amigo negro José
Tu futuro va conmigo negro José
Yo te digo porque sé
Con mucho amor las miradas cuando al bailar
Y el tamboril de sus ojos parece hablar
Y su camisa endiablada quiere saltar
Amigo negro José
No tienes ninguna pena al parecer
Pero las penas te sobran negro José
Que tú en el baile las dejas yo se muy bien
Amigo negro José
Perdonáme si te digo negro José
Eres diablo pero amigo negro José
Tu futuro va conmigo negro José
Yo te digo porque sé
Amigo negro José
Yo te digo porque sé
Amigo negro José

Lyrics translation

In a forgotten village I don't know why
And his brunette dance makes him move
In the village they called him Black Joseph
Black friend Jose
With Love candombea the Black Joseph
It has the color of the night on the skin
He's very happy candombando blissful he
Black friend Jose
Forgive me if I call you Black Joseph
You're devil but black friend Joseph
Your future goes with me Black Joseph
I tell you because I know
With much love the looks when when dancing
And the tambourine of his eyes seems to speak
And his crazy shirt wants to jump
Black friend Jose
You have no pity apparently
But the sorrows you have left Black Joseph
That you at the dance leave them I know very well
Black friend Jose
Forgive me if I call you Black Joseph
You're devil but black friend Joseph
Your future goes with me Black Joseph
I tell you because I know
Black friend Jose
I tell you because I know
Black friend Jose
