Cuando Salí de Cuba

I will never be able to die
My heart is not here
It is waiting for me there
It is keeping me
To return there

When I left Cuba
I left my life, I left my love
When I left Cuba
I buried my heart

It beats and keeps beating
Because my land gives it life
But the day will come
When my hand will find it

When I left Cuba
I left my life, I left my love
When I left Cuba
I buried my heart

Cuba - even though I am far from you
I long for the green of your fields
The blue of your sky
The clear water of your beaches
And the warmth of your sun

A sad storm
Is relentlessly hitting
But the sun of your children
Will soon bring you calm

When I left Cuba
I left my life, I left my love
When I left Cuba
I buried my heart

When I left Cuba
I left my mother, I left my love
When I left Cuba
I buried my heart

When I left Cuba
I left its sky, I left its sun
When I left Cuba
I buried my heart
