Cubanita

Cuban girl, I remember well
It was love at first sight
You were the most beautiful of all

Admit that when you saw me
You felt something similar
You looked at me with those criminal eyes

Made love like a ballerina
Kissed me and drove me crazy
But cried like a little girl when dawn broke

Miss, you fled from that socialist island
Some bearded man gave you a tourist visa
But as soon as you arrived here, you indulged in capitalist revelry
Riding in a limousine with a driver

Little sister, we know well
It was as good as it had to be
But we followed our paths
Because it suits us

I recognize well that you warned me about your artistic vein
You disappeared, evaporated, leaving no trace
Suddenly people say they saw you married to an economist
Another saw you naked in a magazine

Cuban girl, wherever you are
In Amsterdam or New Guinea
You will always be, not just for me
A beautiful woman

Beautiful Cuban girl, I love you
And whatever they say, I love you
You will be welcome in my life
Beautiful lady, I love you

Cuban girl, wherever you are
In Amsterdam or New Guinea
You will always be, not just for me
A beautiful woman

Beautiful Cuban girl, I love you
And whatever they say, I love you
You will be welcome in my life
Beautiful lady, I love you
