Cuando Salí de Cuba
Nunca podré morirme, mi corazón no lo tengo aquí.
Alguien me está esperando,
me está aguardando que vuelva allí.
ESTRIBILLO
Cuando salí de Cuba, dejé mi vida, dejé mi amor.
Cuando salí de Cuba, dejé enterrado mi corazón.
Late, sigue latiendo, porque mi tierra vida le da
pero llegará el día en que a su lado se encontrará.
~~~~~~~~
Translation by Patricia Cummings
When I Left Cuba
I will never be able to die, my heart is not here.
Someone is waiting for me, someone is watching
for my return there.
When I left Cuba, I left my life, I left my love,
When I left Cuba, I left my heart buried.
Beat, keep beating, my heart,
because my land gives life.
But the day will arrive when, at your side,
I will be found.
