OriginalTraduzione tedesca / German translation / Traduction allemande...
I, TOO, SING AMERICAAUCH ICH BESINGE AMERIKA
  
I, too, sing America.Auch ich besinge Amerika.
  
I am the darker brother.Ich bin der dunklere Bruder.
They send me to eat in the kitchenMan schickt mich zum Essen in die Küche
When company comes,Wenn Gäste kommen,
But I laugh,Aber ich lache
And eat well,Und esse mich satt
And grow strong.Und werde stark.
  
Tomorrow,Morgen,
I'll be at the tableWerde ich am Tisch sitzen
When company comes.Wenn die Gäste kommen.
Nobody'll dareNiemand wird wagen
Say to me,Mir zu befehlen:
"Eat in the kitchen,""Iss in der Küche",
Then.Dann.
  
Besides,Ausserdem
They'll see how beautiful I amWird man merken, wie schön ich bin
And be ashamedUnd man wird sich schämen -
  
I, too, am America.Auch ich bin Amerika.
