Candombe Para José - Illapu

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

In a forgotten town I don't know why

And his dark-haired dance makes him move

In the town they called him Negro José

Black friend Jose.

With love candombea black José

He has the color of the night on his skin

He is very happy candombe, he is happy

Black friend Jose.

Forgive me if I tell you black Jose

You are the devil but black friend José

Your future goes with me black José

I tell you because I know.

With much love the looks when dancing

And the drum of his eyes seems to speak

And his devilish shirt of him wants to jump

Black friend Jose.

You don't have any sorrow apparently

But the sorrows are too much for you black José

That you leave them at the dance I know very well

Black friend Jose.

Forgive me if I tell you black Jose

You are the devil but black friend José

Your future goes with me black José

I tell you because I know

Black friend Jose

I tell you because I know

Black friend Jose
