Me dicen Cuba [versión 2] [English translation]

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
