When the children are ill-mannered
The father threatens them
“The Black Man*, he will get you
if you don’t follow my commands”
And we believe in that up to this day
In much fear, the country and people
Something terrible shall happen
The evil comes, it shall never go away
And the dread spreads in the night
Doors and gates are guarded
The back wet, the hands clammy
Everyone has a fear of the Black Man
(You)
In the darkness, he creeps up
If you’re not good, he shall seize* you
Stranger danger*
So many nightmares, so much craze
And we believe in that up to this day
The pack is heavily armed
Ah… They cannot help it
Screaming “Fire!” in the streets!
And the dread spreads in the night
Not a wink of sleep at all
The back wet, the hands clammy
Everyone has a fear of the Black Man
(You)
(You)
(You)
Who is scared of the black man?
Who is scared of the black man?
Who is scared of the black man?
Who has fear?
And the dread spreads in the night
Not a wink of sleep at all
The back wet, the hands clammy
Everyone has a fear of the Black Man
(You)
(You) Black Man
(You)
(You) Black Man
