It was noon and you, as a prisoner,
were waiting for the world to stop
Outside there was the sun and warm smells
And ancient words of soldiers
Maybe you saw your people
Cuba alive under the sun
The sierra that saw you winner
Goodbye goodbye
Who will never forget you
Goodbye goodbye
I will remember you, too.
It was noon in the middle of the night
And men of good will
Everyone looked into each other's eyes
Then everyone went his way
It's too late to leave
Too late to die
We are too fat, commander
Goodbye goodbye
Who will never forget you
Goodbye goodbye
I will remember you, too.
It was noon and you were not there
A child was crying in silence
Outside there was the sun and warm smells
And ancient words of soldiers
Today your people remember you
Cuba alive under the sun
The sierra that saw you winner
Goodbye goodbye
Who will never forget you
Goodbye goodbye
I will remember you, too.
