| Hey, hey, hey tell me Wilson Pickett
|
| Hey, hey, hey tell me James Brown:
|
| Where do you find this item?
|
| Mr. King, Mr. Charles, Mr. Brown
|
| I do everything to be able to sing like you
|
| But there is nothing to be done, I will never succeed
|
| And I think it's just because of my color that's wrong ...
|
| That's why I would like, I would like black skin
|
| I would like black skin !!!
|
| Hey, hey, hey you tell me Mr. Lawis, tell me how you can
|
| Roasting a little black man every now and then with the utmost serenity
|
| I say Nino you shouldn't think about it
|
| But there is nothing to be done to forget
|
| I'm cursed skin color that burns me a little ...
|
| That's why I want ... I want black skin
|
| I would like black skin !!!
|
| Hey, hey, hey you dear departed ones
|
| Hey, hey, hey, you who already know
|
| You who sing gloriously for the pastures of the hereafter
|
| Tell me if to enter the kingdom with you
|
| It is enough for everyone to take care of their own business
|
| Or if there are poor people up there, race and color like here ...
|
| Anyway I would like, I would like black skin
|
| I would like black, black leather !!! |
| Black !!!
|
| Then I'd like to stay over there
|
| Living in new orleans
|
| Listening to missisipi, fighting with friends
|
| All blacks and musicians, knowing how to play the trumpet
|
| Being able to speak English, Italian doesn't work for this music here
|
| Then I wish I could scream
|
| Ihe ihe ihe ihe allright
