Oh ebony woman!
African woman!
you gave me the breast, you gave me the bath
you gave me love, you gave me the day
I remember going to the backwater on your back take some water with a seal
I remember the smell of your delicious food that you made in your mortar
and when I fall asleep ... your face still comes back to me
Oh ebony woman! African woman!
your ebony skin shines in the sun and you shine like a wonder
your candid smile dazzles the darkness of the evening and my emotion no longer makes me sit down
your hazel eyes reflect the sun's rays and my heart warms with your eyes
your generous bosom is full of goodness and the curvature of your loins reveals a fertile woman
graceful as a praying mantis
beautiful as a gazelle
you sting like a guepe
but the honey of your words watered down its poison
respectful, caring and intelligent
you are the worthy women of Africa!
