¿De dónde sales tú?
¿Que está pasando en cádiz?
No se ven negras tan guapas
Ni en carnavales
La reina de áfrica por la alameda
Paso volviéndome loco con sus caderas
Tendrían que poner de tu puerta hasta la mía
Una vereda de juncos y de palmeras
Y una choza de bambú junto a la playa
Para que te sientas en casa y no te vayas
La reina de áfrica vino y puso el muelle en pie
Y todo se paro desde la estiba hasta el contrabando
La diosa de ébano vivo
Paraba la ciudad
Sentada sobre la blanca baranda del balneario
¿Qué rumbo caprichoso tiene el amor?
Que sabe nadie
Si cambia tu corazón como cambia el aire
Mira si te diera una levantera
Y sin pensarlo dos veces tú me quisieras.
Por un poquito de tu amor
Me voy contigo a mombasa
Yo desamarro una noche el vapor del puerto
De oloroso y fino lleno la bodega
Y no quiero más que tus ojos y las estrellas
La reina de áfrica vino
