En un pueblo olvidado no sé por qué
Y su danza de moreno lo hace mover
En el pueblo lo llamaban negro José
Amigo negro José
Con mucho amor candombea el negro José
Tiene el color de la noche sobre la piel
Es muy feliz candombeando dichoso él
Amigo negro José
Perdoname 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 sé muy bien
Amigo negro José
Perdoname 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
