They Will Be Ten
We grab the machete and open the trail
And open the trail through the sugarcane field
The machete in hand, hand on the machete
The cane coming out on the way to the mill
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
Next year we keep cutting
We keep cutting to complete
And every year keep working
So no cane is left uncut
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
And let the doomsayer know
That the Cuban people don't know how to lie
And that our peasant and worker honor
Will know above all to fulfill the goal
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
And start counting, start counting
If your stubbornness allows it
That the ten million from seventy
Are surely surely surely ten
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
If we said ten, they will be ten, they will be ten
