Canto Aquí, Canto Na Habana

Sing here, sing in Havana
Sing here, sing in Habana
And how well I sing
I sing wherever I feel like

Now I start
I start by starting
Who starts first
Must finish first

Sing here, sing in Havana
Sing wherever I feel like

I will sing down here
And they will hear me up there
So my mother can say
That's my daughter

If I sing well
If I sing well
I sing from my throat
And not from anyone else's

(Excerpt from Castelao)

I will bid farewell
I will give congratulations
I will bid farewell
As they bid farewell to me too

We are from the south and the north
We are from here and there
May the people of Havana feel it
From Vigo and Bogotá

We are closer than far
We are people, we are land
Seeds of freedom
To live as brothers
