Habana [English translation]

From La Palma I rode the skies

With the hope of getting to you

I dreamed between clouds with all that

Was unforgettably blue

To my mind came all the things

That my grandpa used to tell me about you

To be so close to all that

To so many things to live

I suddenly felt that I was enveloped

By a new air and a smile

I stepped on the land that I loved so much

And what I felt so real

Was your voice, your peaceful gaze

Your open sky received me

And a new fragrance of suntan skin

Gentle throughout time sleeping lady

Havana

Beautiful Caribbean lady

Havana

Makes a break between two seas

There is no poet that won't see you, that won't surrender

To the beauty of your people and your streets

Havana

Sleepy and in your slumber

Keep dreaming with the love that can be given

By a kiss that will awaken you and feel alive

Leaving your gray suit and be able to fly

Havana

My Havana...
