Negra De Chocolate Lyrics in English by La Mákina
Hambre literally means “hunger,” but in the phrase “me da hambre de ella” (“she makes me hungry for her”), it expresses an intense craving or desire. This vivid metaphor makes the word more memorable than its everyday meaning and adds a passionate feeling to the song.
“Negra De Chocolate” is built around attraction, kisses, dancing, and a woman the singer wants to see. The lyric fragments are playful and a little mysterious: “a mí me gusta” [I like it] and “si yo bailo” [if I dance] point toward a dance-floor mood, while “cuando me besas soy yo” [when you kiss me, I am myself] makes the kiss sound especially important. The title calls her “Negra de chocolate,” combining “negra,” which can mean a Black or dark-skinned woman and can also be an affectionate nickname, with “de chocolate” [made of chocolate].
Some lines arrive in broken or unclear fragments, so the song’s exact story is hard to follow. What does come through is the singer’s direct desire: “yo quisiera verla” [I would like to see her], “me da hambre de ella” [she makes me hungry for her], and “yo quisiera por verdad” [I would truly like to]. That hunger is flirtatious rather than subtle, and the repeated references to dancing make this feel like a song about wanting her close, enjoying her kisses, and moving to the music together.
