HOMMAGE A LA FEMME NOIRE .
Femme noire, femme africaine, Ô toi ma mère, je pense à toi
Ô Dâman, ô ma mère, toi qui me portas sur le dos,
Toi qui m'allaitas, toi qui gouvernas mes premiers pas,
Toi qui, la première, m'ouvris les yeux aux prodiges de la terre,
Je pense à toi...

Femme des champs, des rivières, femme du grand fleuve,
Ô toi, ma mère, je pense à toi...
Ô toi Dâman, ô ma mère, toi qui essuyais mes larmes,
Toi qui me réjouissais le coeur, toi qui, patiemment, supportais mes caprices,
Comme j'aimerais encore être près de toi, être enfant près de toi !
Femme simple, femme de la négation, ma pensée toujours se tourne vers toi...

Ô Dâman, Dâman de la grande famille des forgerons, ma pensée toujours se tourne vers toi,
La tienne à chaque pas m'accompagne, ô Dâman, ma mère,
Comme j'aimerais encore être dans ta chaleur, être enfant près de toi. ...

Femme noire, femme africaine, ô toi ma mère, merci pour tout ce que tu fis pour moi, ton fils,
Si loin, si loin, si près de toi !

Laye Camara, "L'enfant noir", Librairie Plon





She walks proud day by day
She relates to anything one might say. She has a force driven through her soul
She has a place on earth and she has a role. She is capable of enduring many tasks
She is strong, for she is one that has no mask. She faces life with the dignity of her mind
And yet she still remains one of a kind. She is the words that speak to you day and night
She is the one that has given you sight. To see the beauty and the accomplishments of all
Yet she will be there by you standing tall. Her intelligence is beyond many you may see
She has overcome many obstacles and still she feels free. She has a desire that will capture your heart
She has a love so strong, one for which you will never part. She has her own therefore she doesn't ask for much
Whatever she needs she is capable of doing such. She is a survivor and there is nothing she can't do
So don't play with her heart for this she will know too

She is proud she takes on her own
And there are always others who may throw stones

She fears not as she walks by with a smile
For she is one you will notice her for miles

Nothing is impossible for she always succeed
Yes she is human and one with needs

A mind of her own she share with you
She speaks of things that you never knew

Never underestimate her mind and soul
For she is one among many and so her story will be told
Black queen... black queen will remain strong as can be
She has a mind and yes all the capabilities.
