We people who are darker than blue
我们这些肤色深于蓝色的人
Are we gonna stand around this town
难道我们要在这座城市里袖手旁观
And let what others say come true
让别人的预言成真吗
We're just good for nothing they all figure
他们都说我们一无是处
A boyish grown up shiftless jigger
一个无所事事的男孩
Now we can't hardly stand for that
现在我们再也无法忍受
Or is that really where it's at
或者那真的就是事实吗
We people who are darker than blue
我们这些肤色深于蓝色的人
This ain't no time for segregating

I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two

High yellow girl can't you tell

You're just the surface of our dark deep well
你只是我们深井的表面
If your mind could really see

You'd know your color same as me

Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory

I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

Learn to know your side

Before we check out our mind

That's why I'm here to say

Now I know we have great respect

For the sister and mother it's even better yet

But there's the joker in the street

Loving one brother and killing the other

When the time comes and we are really free

Now we can't hardly stand for that
