Dear brother white
When I was born I was black,
When I grew up I was black,
When I'm in the sun I'm black,
When I'm sick I'm black,
When I die, I'm black.
While you, white man,
When you're born you're pink,
When you grew, you became white
When you go in the sun you are red,
When you're cold you are blue,
When you're scared, you're green,
When you're sick, you're yellow,
When you die, you'll be gray.
So the two of us,
Who is the man of color?
Leopold Sedar Senghor (1906 - 2001) politician and writer Senegal and President of the Republic of Senegal from 1960 to 1980.
