Que cuando se va de casa
Que triste me pongo
Estoy enamora'o, de la negra Tomasa
Que triste me pongo
Ay, ay, ay
Esa negra linda
Que me hecho bilongo
Esa negra linda, (relinda)
Que me hecho bilongo
Na' ma' que me gusta la comi'a
Que me cocina
Na' ma' que me gusta la cafe
Que ella me cuela
Na' ma' que me gusta la comi'a
Que me cocina
Na' ma' que me gusta la cafe
Que ella me cuela
Ay, ay, ay
Esa negra linda, (relinda)
Que me hecho bilongo, (bilongo)
Esa negra linda, (relinda)
Que me hecho bilongo
Estoy tan enamora'o de la negra Tomasa
Que cuando se va de casa
Que triste me pongo
Estoy tan enamora'o de la negra Tomasa
Que cuando se va de casa
Que triste me pongo
Ay, ay, ay
Esa negra linda, (relinda)
Que me hecho bilongo, (bilongo)
Esa negra linda, (relinda)
Que me hecho bilongo
Quiquiribu, mandinga
Quiquiribu, mandinga
Alla en la habana, tasajo
Y alla en oriente, mabinga
Yo conoci a un cocinero
Que cocinaba mabinga
Y machacaba los ajos
Con la cabeza' el mortero
Como bailaba tomasa
En el barrio de la timba
Quiquiribu, mandinga
