I come from where the sun warms the land
And from there where the heart beats more sincerely
I come from where the Son spends hours
Wooing the Rumba, singing to her that Bolero
I bring my religion and hope
Mixed with my drum and my melody
I just want you to know how it feels
When your soul is full of all of my Cuban spirit
I am a pure Cuban
And my roots I'll defend with my life
I am Cuban and wherever I may be
I will sing to my beloved Cuba
I come from where the sun warms the land
The land I was born in, where I will live
That's why I now bring you my song
So that you know the reason why they call me Cuba
In order to really know what it's like to be Cuban
You have to have been born in Cuba
You have to have lived in Cuba
In order to really know what it's like to be Cuban
You have to read by heart Martí's work, Guillén's prose
Look for a guayabera shirt and a palm-leaf hat
In order to really know what it's like to be Cuban
So that it reaches your heart, brother
You have to have been born in Cuba
You have to have lived in Cuba
A true Cuban gives his life for his land
He lives straight and true, ready for combat
And he holds tight to his flag
Eh
May the Mambo go even higher
Listen to it!
Look!
No one dances as I do
No one revels as I do
That's for sure
They call me Cuba
What was that
Cuba is my name
That's what they call me, my friend
No one dances as I do
No one revels as I do
They call me Cuba
Cuba is my name
Hands up in the air Cuba
No one dances as I do
No one revels as I do
They call me Cuba
Cuba is my name
That's who I am
No one dances as I do
No one revels as I do
They call me Cuba
Cuba is my name
No matter what they say
A Cuban
A Cuban I'll always be
Forward
From San Antonio to Maisí
A Cuban
I will always defend you
Forward
No matter what state the world is in
A Cuban
And the street is on fire
Forward
Cuban move forward (Cuban) living in the hills
Forward
For we were never cowards
(Trumpet solo - La Bayamesa)
Cuban move forward
Cuban move forward
First class
Cuban move forward
Cuban move forward
Cuban
Stop joking
Forward
Stop jesting
Cuban move forward
Cuban move forward
Cuban
Long live Cuba
Forward
You know where I come from
I come from Havana
And so, and so
I'm first class
Because I put on a palm-leaf hat
And I wear a guayabera shirt, which is what there is
I come from Havana
And so, and so
I'm first class
Because I sing to you from my heart
In a sincere way which is what it was
I come from Havana
And so, and so
I'm first class
Let them know this even in China, goodness!
I'm first class
And listen to how they say
Pay attention to how the world says
I'm first class
I'm first class
