Esperando

Waiting, waiting
For the day when in my Cuba
Hope will breathe again
Brotherhood and joy

We gotta believe that the good
Will come our way
The bad is in the past
And left in the dust
No more wasting time
On old grudges
Sing, celebrate, better times
Are coming near

When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
It’s a party for my Cuba
Oh, I’m here to raise a glass
When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
We’re one big family
Those from here and those from there
When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
And I know soon enough
I’ll be able to come back

Waiting, waiting
To reunite with my people
A party that wipes away their tears
And fulfills their dreams

Everyone dancing happily
Toasting to fate
Leaving behind so many years
Of lost hopes
It’ll be the moment to heal
Hearts together
For the man who is free
Has no fears

When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
I know more than one
Who’s on my path
When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
Always keep it in mind
Don’t ever forget
When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
A shout in Santa Clara
Echoes in Havana
When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
A song I want to offer
To the land that gave me life

Over there in Pinar del Río, we’re gonna celebrate
The free air of Havana, we’re gonna celebrate
On the beaches of Matanzas, we’re gonna celebrate
With rum and coffee from Las Villas, we’re gonna celebrate
Tune the drums, Camagüey, we’re gonna celebrate
You can hear the music out in the East, we’re gonna celebrate
When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
Never forget the path
Of your homeland and your friends
When Cuba is free, we’re gonna celebrate
