I am sweet like molasses

Joyful like the drum

I carry the rhythmic tumbao'

I carry the rhythmic tumbao'

That will make your heart dance

And there was a rich island

Enslaved by a smile

I am from yesterday, I am carnival

I put heart and land

My blood is black sugar

It's love and it's music

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

I am in the rain, in the grass

I am in the cloud and the stone

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

I am sweet like molasses

Joyful like the drum

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

And when it's time for the rumba

In the aguarata, I am the queen

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

I am the cane and the coffee

To move the gua guanco'

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

I am marked on the skin

With the rumba and the mongoi', and the mongoi'

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

I am the fire, fire and my cadelai' fire

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar

How I like it and how it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar

Oh, how much I like it and it makes me happy

Sugar, black sugar
