All here are black people,
All people of Guinea.
He he he,
With drums, flute and castanets,
And jingles on their feet,
He he he,
We are going to celebrate
The feast of the infant Emmanuel,
He he he.

Sing, Sebastian
Sing out, Thomas
Sing out,
Sing out, Francisca,
Sing Caterina,
Sing out,
Sing out, Ferdinand,
Sing out, Raymond,
Sing out.
Listen, listen:

All Negroes can sing,
We sing and dance
For we are free.
We play and sing,
We frolic and play,
We play the tambourine, the flute
And the jingles;
We cheer and cry out:
‘Long live Our Lady and Joseph!’
