I don't know my pretty black girl
What is it that I have in my heart
That I no longer eat or sleep
But thinking only of your love
There are many who advise me
That I abandon you
That you do me harm
And I don't know what's happening
That I love you more every day
And many say the same thing
That you you are bewitching
That you are destroying me
That I am no longer of any use to anyone
That I am no longer even my shadow
That they see me and do not know me
That my illness has no remedy
That I have already lost myself
I don't know my pretty black girl
What is it that I have in my heart
That I no longer eat or sleep
But thinking only of your love
There are many who advise me
To abandon you
That you are doing me wrong
And I don't know what's happening
That I love you every day more
And many say the same thing
That you are bewitching me
That you are destroying me
That I am no longer of any use to anyone
That I am no longer I am not even my shadow
They see me and do not know me
That my illness has no remedy
That I am already lost
