Las caras lindas
De mi gente negra
Son un desfile
De melaza en flor
Que cuando pasan
Frente a mi se alegra
De su negrura todo el corazón
Las caras lindas
De me raza prieta
Tienen de llanto
De pena y dolor
Son las verdades
Que la vida reta
Pero que llevan
Dentro mucho amor
Somos la melaza que ríe
Somos la melaza que llora
Somos la melaza que ama
Y en cada beso
Es conmovedora
Por eso vivo orgullosa
De su colorido
Somos betún amable
De clara poesía
Tienen su ritmo
Tienen melodía
Las caras lindas
De mi gente negra
Caras lindas
De mi gente negra
