Never listen to the propaganda on the tele
You will never be a colour, which was never yours
No colour can tint out your colour
And your colour can never be any other

Your colour is black my son, the colour is black
Our colour is black my son, the colour is black

Никогда не слушайте пропаганду по телевизору
Ты никогда не станешь цветом, который никогда не был твоим
Никакой цвет не может оттенить ваш цвет лица
И твой цвет никогда не может быть другим

Потому что цвет черный, цвет черный
Твой цвет черный, сын мой, цвет черный
Наш цвет - черный, сын мой, это черный цвет
