Yo Soy Cubano

I am Cuban
I feel proud of my land
Where the palm trees stand tall and grand
Here the Moon finds refuge in the yagruma
And the hot Sun makes its people shine like gold

I am Cuban
And I love my brothers so much
Who are scattered all over the world
For being Cuban, this land remembers them
Being Cuban, they never forgot it

A little piece of their heart, they kept in my Cuba
They remember their memories, their roots of being Cuban, Cuban, Cuban

I am Cuban from this Caribbean land
To God I ask, that one day He brings us together
Because the Cuban, from his nation, always made one
And with pride, never thought of leaving Cuba

Hey Cuban, you who left Cuba
Come back, my brother, because
Your cradle stayed here

Everyone out there says
There’s no place like Cuba
Our wine is bitter
And it’s our wine, compay

This is our identity, and no one will change it
Not in Spain, nor in Italy, nor in the United States, Hawaii

This is like a tribute I offer you in my song
So you know that Cuba
Holds you in its heart

That your cradle stayed here
