| Sapphire
| Zafiro
|
| Black as night, good as gold
| Negro como la noche, bueno como el oro
|
| Whether young, whether old
| Ya sea joven, ya sea viejo
|
| Sapphire
| Zafiro
|
| Sapphire
| Zafiro
|
| When I’m watching you dance, I fall in a trance
| Cuando te veo bailar, caigo en trance
|
| Take me higher
| Llévame más alto
|
| History knows that when you were a child
| La historia sabe que cuando eras niño
|
| You were the queen of the Egyptian Nile
| Eras la reina del Nilo egipcio
|
| Kings at your feet and people doing the same
| Reyes a tus pies y gente haciendo lo mismo
|
| Calling on Isis and screaming your name
| Llamando a Isis y gritando tu nombre
|
| Queen of Sheba called Makeba, Cleopatra
| Reina de Saba llamada Makeba, Cleopatra
|
| They were all Sapphires
| todos eran zafiros
|
| Sapphire
| Zafiro
|
| So damn strong, so damn proud
| Tan malditamente fuerte, tan malditamente orgulloso
|
| How you stand out in a crowd
| Cómo te destacas en una multitud
|
| Sapphire
| Zafiro
|
| Sapphire
| Zafiro
|
| From your womb, then came me
| De tu vientre, luego salio yo
|
| And your love set me free
| Y tu amor me liberó
|
| Desire
| Deseo
|
| History knows that when you came to be
| La historia sabe que cuando llegaste a ser
|
| You were the reason so many are free
| Fuiste la razón por la que tantos son libres
|
| Standing for justice and singing out loud
| Defendiendo la justicia y cantando en voz alta
|
| Screaming for freedom, you’re Black and you’re proud
| Gritando por la libertad, eres negro y estás orgulloso
|
