My colored darling, my drummer, oh,
My colored darling, my drummer, oh,
The rhythm calls, the rhythm sighs, my darling comes,
He comes, he comes, my darling comes,
The rhythm calls, the rhythm sighs, my darling comes,
He comes, he comes, my darling comes,
My colored darling, my drummer, oh,
The rhythm calls, the rhythm sighs, my darling comes,
He comes, he comes, my darling comes.
Hearken, a song of love I sing,
Hearken, a song of love, I come,
My courtyard, a vision unfolds,
Eyes, kohled, with hues of blue and gold.
A village whispers, "My beloved's here,"
The drummer drums, banishing fear,
The drummer drums, banishing fear.
My colored darling, my drummer, oh,
The rhythm calls, the rhythm sighs, my darling comes,
He comes, he comes, my darling comes.
My fair one arrives, my love is here,
Behold, how union draws so near,
Your face, a dawn, a birth anew,
A brand new life, reborn for you.
Ho, oh, ho, oh, ho, oh.
My traveler, oh, my traveler,
He comes, a stranger, my beloved,
I adorn myself, again, again,
He, my captain, I, the river's reign.
Ho, oh, my colored one,
My colored darling, my drummer, oh,
The rhythm calls, the rhythm sighs, my darling comes,
He comes, he comes, my darling comes,
The rhythm calls, the rhythm sighs, my darling comes,
He comes, he comes, my darling comes,
Ho, oh, my colored darling, my drummer, oh.
