Bemba Colora

In the Havana plain,
Between early mornings and guava trees
In the Havana plain
Between early mornings and guava trees,
As pretty as Guines
Sings the Havana orchard.

Red lips
How good the red lips are,
Red lips
She really likes a red lip,
Red lips
Chase her, chase her, chase her, chase her,
Red lips
Red, lip, red,
Red lips
Red, red, red,
Red lips
Red lips, red,
Red lips
That's red,
Red lips
Red lips
Red lips.
Red.

A few years ago I left,
Red
My beloved little land,
Red
And I still remember,
Red
Its streets and its valleys,
Red
I adored its huts,
Red
I held onto the palm trees,
Red
They were always roofed
Red
With pieces of old palm leaves.
Red.

I'm a sailor with a good bay
Red
I'm a sailor with a good bay
Red,
Red, red.
Red.
I have four doves,
Red
In a hillside basin,
Red
I give them all water,
Red
They all drink their little bit,
Red
None of them get angry,
Red
How good my doves are,
How good they are,
Red.
How good they are,
How good they are.
Red,
Oh, red, red.
Red,
Red, red,
Red.

A little bird in its cage,
Red
Flies and flies without stopping,
Red
Always looking for the sea,
Red
If it saw a way to escape,
Red
Poor thing, oh, how it suffers,
Red
Looking for its freedom, and I,
Red
I, like the bird, want
Red
To regain my freedom,
Red
Come, come, come, come
Red,
Come, come, come, come,
Red
Come, come, come, come
Red
Red, red.

What color,
Red
What color
Red
What color,
Red
What color
Red
What color,

They buried in the afternoon,
Red
Juan Simon's daughter,
Red
Simon was in the town
Red
The only gravedigger, red
Red
He himself to his own daughter
And you'll see
Red
To the cemetery he took her,
Red
He himself dug the grave
Red
Imploring a prayer
Red, in one hand,
Red,
In one hand the shovel
Red
And in the other the pickaxe
Red
And when they asked him
Red
Where are you coming from Juan Simon
Red
And he said I, I am a gravedigger
Red
And I come to
Red
I am a gravedigger and I come to,
Red

Jaime Serrada starts sweating,
Red
He's feeling it,
Red
He's feeling it
Red
Bring it up,
Red
Bring it up Pedro, bring it up, bring it up
Red

Red lips,
Red lips
Red lips
Oh red lips, oh red lips,
Up
Red
Red,
