Lyrics
Hubo un lugar
Donde los árboles lloran
Y yo no paro de llorar
Por ti seré
Eterno manantial
Le llamaban triste soledad
Le siguen llamando como ayer
Y sigue bebiendo del manantial
Y riega con su miel que la veo danzar
Por ti seré
Eterno manantial
Me dijeron que no iba a volver
Al cabo de un año regresó
Al lomo de un potro gallardo
Y los flamencos al pasar
Le veneran como al sol
Por ti seré
Eterno manantial
Hubo un lugar
Donde los árboles lloran
Y yo no paro de llorar
Por ti seré
Eterno manantial
Cuba linda, de mi vida
Cuba linda siempre la recordaré
Yo quisiera verte ahora como la primera vez
Cuba linda, de mi vida
Cuba linda siempre la recordaré
Cuba linda, de mi vida
Cuba linda siempre la recordaré
Flor de mayo, Sevillana
Flor de mayo que a mi patria levantó
Yo quisiera verte ahora, como la primera vez
Flor de mayo, sevillana
Flor de mayo que a mi patria levantó
Te recordaremos aunque me cueste morir
A mi me gustaría una mañana
Después del café bebido
Pasearme por la Habana
Con mi cigarro encendido
Lyrics translation
There was a place
Where the trees cry
And I don't stop crying
For you I will be
Eternal spring
They called him sad loneliness
They keep calling him like yesterday.
And keep drinking from the spring
And water with her honey that I see her dance
For you I will be
Eternal spring
They told me he wasn't coming back.
After a year he returned
On the back of a gallardo foal
And the flamingos as they pass
They worship him as the sun
For you I will be
Eternal spring
There was a place
Where the trees cry
And I don't stop crying
For you I will be
Eternal spring
Cuba linda, of my life
Cuba linda I'll always remember her
I'd like to see you now as the first time
Cuba linda, of my life
Cuba linda I'll always remember her
Cuba linda, of my life
Cuba linda I'll always remember her
Flower of May, Sevillana
May flower that my homeland raised
I'd like to see you now, like the first time
Flower of May, sevillana
May flower that my homeland raised
We'll remember you even if it costs me to die
I'd like a morning.
After the coffee drunk
Walking around Havana
With my cigarette on
