CUBA

Cuba, Cuba
you are true symbol of love
Cuba, Cuba
you are true hero for faith

Showing your stability
for what you believing
deeply aware of all values
with hard work achieving

Cuba, Cuba
your love for Che
made you star of the earth
unity with leadership
strong as days of your birth

Cuba, Cuba
you are poem of constance
Cuba, Cuba
you are splendour of resistance
economic boycott, pressure so long
yankies embargos, you standing so strong

Cuba, Cuba
you are true symbol of love
Cuba, Cuba
you are true hero for faith

Deep understanding and simple living
cultured, tolerant and humble giving
so much vanity and dignity in thirst
please take me as your most honoured guest

Cuba, Cuba
let me kiss you, with me, all being lips
Cuba, Cuba
let me love you, with me, all being heart.
