(East, east
East, east
East)

I'm leaving
To die (east)
Wow
I'm going to kill myself
(East)

Look, black
I'm going to die
(East)

East
If I could
Sing to you
As I desire

The land
Where Maceo
Reached
The first light
East

Today I offer you
This chimera
Like a simple
Comedy

That you are
My encyclopedia
For being
The complete
Mother
East

That when wanting
I was a poet
Like Maceo
And Heredia
Wow, black

I'm leaving
To die (east)
I'm going
to kill myself
(East)

Look, black
I'm going to die
(East)

That
That in these
Madrigals
Wow
That is born
This heart

Like
A greeting
To all
The easterners
Of such worthy
Ideals

Why
Not say it like this
My mother
That inspired
From here
I sing to you
With full pleasure

Because you keep
In your bosom
Wow
Our most
Tidiest apostle
Baby

I'm leaving
To die (east)
I'm going
to kill myself
(East)

Look, black
I'm going to die
(East)

And I put
An end
From the place
Where I am

With my heart
I give, easterners
The most natural
Expression

Of my mental
Forest
The most Cuban
Produce

Under the poetic
Plane
Tell me
My admirers

The most
Perfumed
Flowers
Of the king of Cuban
Rhythm

Oh, I'm leaving
To die (east)
I'm going
to kill myself
(East)

Look, black
I'm going to die
(East)
Good thing
I'm going to kill myself
(East)

Now
With you
Alfredo Valdés

(East
East, east
East)

I'm leaving
To die (east)
Wow
I'm going to kill myself
(East)

Look, baby
I'm going to die
(East)

A little bird
Injured
Abandoned
In the world

With deep
Desperation
Flies looking for
Its nest

Completely
Lost
Like a blind person
Without a cane
His heart trembles
And guesses
Towards the mountain

And looks for
The horizon
With hope
And resignation

I'm leaving
To die (east)
And I'm going
to kill myself
(East)

Look, black
I'm going to die
(East)
Good thing
I'm going to kill myself
(East)

(On horseback
I'm going to the east
On horseback I go
To the east)

On horseback I go
Towards
The horizon

(On horseback I go
To the east
On horseback I go
To the east)

On horseback I go
Looking for
The mountains

(On horseback I go
To the east
On horseback I go
To the east)

The simplicity
Of this world
Is always
The deepest

(To the east)
On horseback I go
(To the east)
Little by little I go
(To the east)

Calmly
I go
(To the east)
I go step by step
(To the east)

Observing
I go
(To the east)
Contemplating
I go
(To the east)
Learning
I go

(To the east
To the east
To the east
To the east
To the east
To the east)

On horseback I go
(To the east)
Contemplating
I go
(To the east)

Look
The palm trees
(To the east)
The sugar cane fields
(To the east)

The greenery
Of the mountains
(To the east)
I go to the trail
(To the east)

To eat hayaca
(To the east)
I feel your quinoa
I go
(To the east)
