Yo te quiero escribir una carta de amor
que llegue a tu país en semilla de flor
que atraviese en la noche océano
y tormenta luego como un lucero deje un sueño en tu puerta.
Yo te quiero cantar y pedirte perdón por tu muerte,
Lucrecia por esta canción que comprendo la luna el ron
y la palmera que en tu isla canela sólo come el tiburón.
¡Ay!, cuatro rosas de fuego ardiendo salieron
y todo acabó. ¡Ay! cuatro rosas dejaron la flor de un disparo en tu corazón.
Pobre Lucrecia tan pobre y negra
te vengará un andaluz a la luz de la luna cantando el «vudú».
Merecumbé, merecumbé un alacrán por la pared
merecumbé, merecumbá por la pared va un alacrán
y el corazón con su aguijón te comerá
merecumbé, merecumbé, merecumbá
Los que matan la luna son los mismos de siempre
los que arrancan las flores con sus botas de muerte
los que amargan la vida y asesinan los sueños
que cantan los poetas buscando un tiempo nuevo.
No gozan M amor ni tocan los tambores
ni cantan el bolero ni pintan corazones
en los árboles verdes ni en las playas de arena
ni bailan el merengue pa echar fuera sus penas.
¡Ay! una calle sin salida una mirada asesina
y allí sola la dejaron. ¡Ay! aquí negros no queremos negro muerto,
negro bueno negro vivo, negro malo.
Suenen los cueros con rabia suenen los cueros
venga compadre esa rumba
que al blanco vuelve tarumba
y al negro pone rumbero.
Merecumbé, merecumbé un alacrán por la pared
merecumbé, merecumbá por la pared va un alacrán
y el corazón con su aguijón te comerá
merecumbé, merecumbé, merecumbá.
