Black And White (original)Black And White (translation)
Une négresse qui buvait du lait A Negress who drank milk
Ah!Ah!
se disait-elle, si je le pouvais she thought to herself, if only I could
Tremper ma figure dans mon bol de lait Dip my face in my bowl of milk
Je serais plus blanche que tous les Anglais I'd be whiter than all the English
Un Britannique d’vant son chocolat A Brit in front of his chocolate
Ah!Ah!
se disait-il, et pourquoi ne pas he thought to himself, and why not
Tremper ma figure dans ce machin-là Dip my face in that thing
Je serais plus Noir qu’un Noir du Kenya I'd be blacker than a black Kenyan
Une intellectuelle qui buvait du thé An intellectual who drank tea
Ah!Ah!
se disait-elle, si je le pouvais she thought to herself, if only I could
Tremper ma figure dans ma tasse de thé Dip my face in my cup of tea
Je serais plus jaune qu' les filles du Yang-Tsé I would be more yellow than the girls of Yang-Tsé
Un Américain qui buvait du sang An American who drank blood
Ah!Ah!
se disait-il, si j’avais le temps he said to himself, if I had time
D’tremper ma figure Dans mon bol de sang To soak my face in my bowl of blood
Je serais plus rouge qu’un MohicanI'd be redder than a Mohican
