Cuando salí de Cuba [English translation]

I will never be able to die1

My heart I don't have here (with me)

Someone is waiting for me

They're waiting for me to go back there

Chorus:

When I left Cuba

I left behind my life, I left behind my love

When I left Cuba

I left my heart buried in the ground

It beats and continues beating

Because my land gives it life

But the day will come

When my hand will reach it

Chorus

A sad storm

Is battering me without rest

But the sun of your children2

Soon will make the calm reach you

Chorus
