Black and White [English translation]

A negress who was drinking milk

Ah! She said to herself, if I could

Dip my face in my bowl of milk

I would be whiter than all the English

A Britain in front of his chocolate

Ah! He said to himself, and why not

Dip my face in that stuff there

I would be blacker than a black from Kenya

An intellectual who was drinking tea

Ah! She said to herself, if I could

Dip my face in my cup of tea

I would be more yellow than the girls from Yang-Tse

An American who was drinking blood

Ah! He said to himself, if I had the time

To dig my face in my bowl of blood

I would be redder than a Mohican
