Lyrics
Cuando sali de la Habana
valgame Dios
nadie me miró salir
sino fui yo una linda guajirita
que si Señor
que se filo tras de mi sin saberlo yo Si a tu ventana llega
una paloma
tratala con cariño
que es mi persona
cuentale tus amores
bien de mi vida
coronala de flores
que es cosa mia
ay! chinita que sí
hay que darle tu amor
ay! que vente conmigo
chinita a donde vivo yo…
Nunca podre morirme
mi corazon no lo tengo aqui
allí me esta esperando
me esta guardando
que vuelva yo cuando salí de Cuba
daje mi vida
deje mi amor
cuando salí de Cuba
deje enterrado mi corazon…
He perdido una perla
la he perdido en el mar
es una perla hermosa
que no puedo encontrar
He perdido una perla
la he perdido en el mar
una perla preciosa
es una perla hermosa
que no puedo olvidar
A mi Dios yo le pido
rendido ante su altar,
que me devuelva a Cuba
por que Cuba es la perla
que he perdido en el mar
que me devuelva a Cuba
por que Cuba es la perla
que he perdido en el mar.
Lyrics translation
When I left Havana
Oh, my God.
no one watched me leave.
but I was a pretty guajirita
Yes sir
he's cutting behind me without me knowing it if he gets to your window
pigeon
treat her with affection
who is my person
tell your loves
good of my life
flower wreath
that's my thing
ay! chinita yes
you have to give her Your Love
ay! come with me.
chinita to where I live…
I can never die
my heart is not here
there he is waiting for me
he's saving me.
let me come back when I left Cuba
give my life
leave my love
when I left Cuba
let my heart be buried…
I lost a pearl.
I lost her at sea
it's a beautiful pearl
that I can't find
I lost a pearl.
I lost her at sea
a precious pearl
it's a beautiful pearl
that I can't forget
To my God I ask
surrendered before his altar,
to return me to Cuba
why Cuba is the Pearl
that I lost at sea
to return me to Cuba
why Cuba is the Pearl
that I lost at sea.
