Dear white, something you got to know
When I was born, I was black.
When I grow up, I am black.
When I'm under the sun, I'm black.
When I'm cold, I'm black.
When I'm afraid, I'm black.
When I'm sick, I'm black.
When I die, I'm still black.
you—white people,
When you were born, you were pink.
When you grow up, you become white.
You're red under the sun.
You're blue when you're cold.
You are yellow when you're afraid.
You're green when you're sick.
You're gray when you die.
And you, call me “color”?
親愛的白種人,有幾件事你必須知道。
當我出生時,我是黑色的;
我長大了,我是黑色的;
我在陽光下,我是黑色的;
我寒冷時,我是黑色的;
我害怕時,我是黑色的;
我生病了,我是黑色的;
我死了,我仍是黑色的。
你呢?當你出生時,你是粉紅色的;
你長大了,變成白色的;
你在陽光下,你是紅色的;
你寒冷時,你是青色的;
你害怕時,你是黃色的;
你生病時,你是綠色的;
當你死時,你是灰色的;
而你,卻叫我“有色人種”?
