Canto negro
¡Yambambó, yambambé!
Repica el congo solongo,
repica el negro bien negro;
congo solongo del Songo
baila yambó sobre un pie.
Mamatomba,
serembe cuserembá.
El negro canta y se ajuma
el negro se ajuma y canta,
el negro canta y se va.
Acuememe serembó.
aé;
yambó,
aé.
Tamba, tamba, tamba, tamba,
tamba del negro que tumba:
tumba del negro, caramba,
caramba, que el negro tumba:
¡yamba, yambó, yambambé!
-- Nicolás Guillén, from Sóngoro cosongo, Cuba, 1931
