Tradición

What joy, yes sir
Here with all my people
And with great admiration
I toast this celebration
Of my transcendent roots

I bring you a güagüanco
So you never forget
That unmatched rhythm
And with that awaken
The pride of your origin

What joy, yes sir
From my Cuba to the whole world
I don't know who started it
For whoever invented it
I pay tribute

And although time will pass
It's our responsibility
Through the song
To serve as education
And continue the tradition

May the tradition continue
May it continue, may it continue

May it continue, may it continue
From my beautiful little Cuba

God willing
Your star will return soon
My beautiful little Cuba
My beautiful Cuba

May the tradition continue
May the tradition continue

So we never forget
May it continue, may it continue, may the tradition continue
May the tradition continue

May the pride
Of where you were born never stop
May the tradition continue
May the tradition continue
