Cuba Libre (English version)

the place that i come from, i barely remember
the place that i come from, i barely remember
but the soul of my people will be with me forever
the soul of my people will be with me forever
swept by an ocean of beautiful memories
of people and places, that i carry with me
of people and places, that i carry with me
the place that i come from, i barely remember
the place that i come from, i barely remember

but the soul of my people will be with me forever
the soul of my people will be with me forever
you're hard to forget, though we're apart, you live in my heart
quiero mi cuba libre (i want my cuba free)
pa que la gente pueda (so that the people can)
pa que mi gente pueda bailar (so that the people can dance)
quiero mi cuba libre
pa que la gente pueda
pa que mi gente pueda bailar

i pray that the rain will bathe you in freedom
only music and laughter
be heard on the breeze
and forever after our dance will continue
and i will at last get to see you again
you're hard to forget, though we're apart, you live in my heart
quiero mi cuba libre
pa que la gente pueda
pa que mi gente pueda bailar
quiero mi cuba libre
pa que la gente pueda
