Translation of Meu Ébano from Portuguese to English
You're a black man who's a sight to behold
I can't let my guard down or you'll take hold
You win me over with your charm, it's game over
You take my heart
You're an ebony, honey lips
A black prince, perfectly crafted
Just melanin, smelling of passion
Is it, could it be that I fell into your net? I still don't know
I don't know but I'm thinking I've already danced
In the temptation of your color
Well, I find myself wanting to see you all the time
Looking at the stars, thinking about you
Black man, I'm scared
That this might be love
Cheeky boy, taste of sin, naughty kid
I was swayed
I confess, I almost lost my speech
With your way of courting me
Like a master of ceremonies
My deep black, distinguished rogue
Could it be instinct?
But when I see you, I adorn my kiss
I touch up my lipstick
The sensuality of the race is a gift
You're my ebony, you're everything good
You're a black man who's a sight to behold
I can't let my guard down or you'll take hold
You win me over with your charm, it's game over
You take my heart
You're an ebony, honey lips
A black prince, perfectly crafted
Just melanin, smelling of passion
Is it, could it be that I fell into your net? I still don't know
I don't know but I'm thinking I've already danced
In the temptation of your color
Well, I find myself wanting to see you all the time
Looking at the stars, thinking about you
Black man, I'm scared
That this might be love
Cheeky boy, taste of sin, naughty kid
I was swayed
I confess, I almost lost my speech
With your way of courting me
Like a master of ceremonies
My deep black, distinguished rogue
Could it be instinct?
But when I see you, I adorn my kiss
I touch up my lipstick
The sensuality of the race is a gift
You're my ebony, you're everything good (oh boy)
Cheeky boy, taste of sin, naughty kid
I was swayed
I confess, I almost lost my speech
With your way of courting me
Like a master of ceremonies
My deep black, distinguished rogue
Could it be instinct?
But when I see you, I adorn my kiss
I touch up my lipstick
The sensuality of the race is a gift
You're my ebony, you're everything good
