Chan Chan [English translation]

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané,

Then to Cueto, I go to Mayarí

The love I have for you

I can't deny it

I drool all over

And I can't help it

When Juanica and Chan Chan

Sifted sand in the sea

The way she was shaking the "sieve"1

was making Chan Chan embarrassed

Clear the road of straws

'Cause I want to sit down

On this trunk that I see

And I can't arrive there that way

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané,

Then to Cueto, I go to Mayarí

1. the sieve - it's in quotation marks so that you can get the double meaning :)
