Labana [English translation]

I had i had

I had i had

Carlitos, come because they are leaving

Because the wind doesn’t wait for us

While your buddy pulls you,

Your heart goes on unstiching

Wait only for a little longer;

I want to explain to my (people?),

Why la habana is the city

Where the dreams learn to swim

And in order for my glass not to feel to the brim

I count it giving (taking) sips

Because by black woman is in la habana

Because i have to go alone

…crazy…

The money are more than enough for an injured heart

The money are left over if you are not by my side

It’s like talking to the wall,

(give me give me freedom)

The walls are asking with shouts

And they say that la habana isn’t going

To have a good time, damn

May this world be damned

I want to carry my black woman away

The one who stayed in la habana

who has left me on the land

…crazy…

The money are more than enough for an injured heart

The money are left over if you are not by my side

The money are more than enough for an injured heart

The money are left over if you are not by my side

Yes she has left me on the land

Yes she has left me abandoned

Who has left me on the land

Who has left me abandoned

Because there is nothing left for me

Because there is nothing left for me, no…no

Th money are left over if you aren’t by my side

But how nice and how good

That i don’t know what i am going to do

But i will love you, my girl, forever

From my side no no no...

From my side don’t go

…and wait only for a little longer

I want to explain to my people (city)

To my black baby who is cuban

Why i am leaving from la habana

The money are more than enough for an injured heart

The money are left over if you are not by my side

You won’t confine the heart

Of the nice people, nor of the poets,

Nor of the people who feel free

Count, count, count

Count one day after the other

Count 1, count 2, count 3

Count 4, because you are leaving, Fidel

The money are more than enough

But the soul of the people of la habana isn’t

The money are more than enough for this broken heart

Who will hand me over his emotions

A girl who has me going crazy, crazy, in love
