The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "A Cuba" by Victor Jara.
Lyrics
Si yo a Cuba le cantara,
le cantara una cancion
tendria que ser un son,
un son revolucionario,
pie con pie, mano con mano,
corazon a corazon, corazon a corazon.
Pie con pie, mano con mano,
como se le habla a un hermano.
Si me quieres, aqui estoy,
que mas te puedo ofrecer,
sino continuar tu ejemplo,
comandante companiero,
viva tu revolucion.
Si quieres conocer a Marti y a Fidel
a Cuba, a Cuba, a Cuba ire,
si quieres conocer los caminos del Che,
a Cuba, a Cuba, a Cuba ire,
si quiers tomar ron pero sin Coca Cola,
a Cuba, a Cuba, a Cuba ire,
si quieres trabajar a la caña de azucar,
a Cuba, a Cuba, a Cuba ire,
en un barquito se va el va y ven.
Lyrics translation
If I sing to Cuba,
I'll sing you a song
it should be a son,
a revolutionary sound,
foot with foot, hand with hand,
heart to heart, heart to heart.
Foot with foot, hand with hand,
like you talk to a brother.
If you want me, here I am,
what more can I offer you,
but continue your example,
companion commander,
long live your revolution.
If you want to meet Marti and Fidel
to Cuba, to Cuba, to Cuba ire,
if you want to know the ways of the Che,
to Cuba, to Cuba, to Cuba ire,
if you want to drink rum but without Coke,
to Cuba, to Cuba, to Cuba ire,
if you want to work on sugar cane,
to Cuba, to Cuba, to Cuba ire,
in a little boat he goes and goes.
