Nuestro Día (Ya Viene Llegando)

Just a kid back in the Antilles
My dad dressed me up like a sailor
I had to sail 90 miles
And start my life as a foreigner

Running from the sickle and the olive green
Escaping that ridiculous ideology
'Cause I never wanted to be an appetizer
Of hate, resentment, and apathy

In my suitcase, I brought a hummingbird
A book by Martí, a dream, and a danzón
Beny Moré snuck in as a stowaway
Along with the Matamoros and Cuní

I brought a palm tree and a hut
And even relocated Pinar del Río
To my humble place of lodging
On 12th Avenue in the South West

Eh, eh

That's where the harsh reality began, oh God!
For anyone who takes the plunge
To survive outside their language
Their customs and their identity

What had to happen happened
I took shelter in my new city
'Cause resignation is a faithful friend
To a man when he has to emigrate

And despite the distance and the attack
Of the rigid calendar, I live with the luck
Of feeling Cuban until death
Of being a lover of freedom

Today, as my people live in hope
I feel inspired and I'm singing a tune
Announcing to all my brothers
That our day is coming soon

Oh, oh
It's coming soon
Oh, oh

It's coming soon
Everyone's waiting for it
It's coming soon
Oh, beautiful and precious Cuba
It's coming soon
'Cause we are a people that sings along
It's coming soon
I want to see my flag fly, Cuba is waiting for us

I'm gonna sing my heartfelt song
It's coming soon
In the gazebo of the park and Consolation
It's coming soon
Every day I love you more, my beautiful Cuba, I love you more
It's coming soon
From San Antonio to Maisí, through Maceo and Martí
It's coming soon

Nicaragua
Free!
Colombia
Free!
Hungary
Free!
Czechoslovakia
Free!
Romania
Free!
East Germany
Free!
CUBA
Free!

It's coming soon
It's coming soon
It's coming soon
It's coming soon
It's coming soon
It's coming soon
It's coming soon
