I was born where the rain still brings the smell of the ebony In a never-ending land with the sun always shining It's been said I'm as pretty as a black pearl When the African moon is high and my eyes are to the heavens.
I was sold when I was 16, I kissed my mother and never looked back Then I got lost in the city with all its people and its bright lights Soon I learned that my hopes and dreams, they were all just illusions And for me to survive I would have to leave my country.

With non hope left one day I want off to Bologna There I met a friend who helped me find my fortune So I changed the way I looked, I changed my way of being And now everybody knows, black girl costs little money
