La Cuba Mía
Celia Cruz
My Cuba
I want to walk without bitterness
Through the street of your memory
And finally rescue the child from my thoughts
Because time and memory
(because time and memory)
Play together in our history
A whole life has passed me by
(a whole life has passed me by)
And your image doesn't fade away, no, no, no
I want to return without looking back
To be able to live to forgive
I want to feel, I want to go back
To my Cuba
(I want to return without looking back
To be able to live to forgive
I want to feel, I want to go back
To my Cuba)
The images in my dreams
Get mixed up with the years
But I keep remembering you
My land every moment
With the sound and the clave
(with the sound and the clave)
With the sun and the soft sand
And my mind imagines
(and my mind imagines)
Walking through Santos Suarez
I want to return without looking back
To be able to live to forgive
I want to feel, I want to go back
To my Cuba
(I want to return without looking back
To be able to live to forgive
I want to feel, I want to go back
To my Cuba)
(I want to return)
I want to return, I want to sing
I want to hug and enjoy
My Cuba
(I want to return)
Surely we will return there
And we will sing in your name
As you wanted
... to my Cuba
(I want to return) without looking back
(to be able to live) to forgive
(I want to feel), I want to go back
(to my Cuba), to my Cuba
(with your rallying cry and your sound, listen
You conquered the whole world
And Cuba was always the first
In your heart... Celia)
(I want to return without looking back
To be able to live to forgive
I want to feel, I want to go back
To my Cuba, to my Cuba
To my Cuba)... to my Cuba
