Lyrics
El enemigo brutal
Nos pone fuego a la casa
El sable la calle arrasa
A la luna tropical
Pocos salieron ilesos
Del sable del español
La calle, al salir el sol
Era un reguero de sesos
Pasa, entre balas, un coche
Entran, llorando, a una muerta
Llama una mano a la puerta
En lo negro de la noche
No hay bala que no taladre
El portón, y la mujer
Que llama, me ha dado el ser:
Me viene a buscar mi madre
A la boca de la muerte
Los valientes habaneros
Se quitaron los sombreros
Ante la matrona fuerte
Y después que nos besamos
Como dos locos, me dijo:
¡vamos pronto, vamos hijo
La niña está sola, vamos!
Lyrics translation
The brutal enemy
He sets fire to the House.
The saber the street rages
To the tropical Moon
Few left unscathed
Of the Spanish saber
The street, when the sun rises
It was a brain drain
Pass, between bullets, a car
They enter, crying, to a dead woman
Knock a hand at the door
In the dark of the night
There's no bullet that doesn't drill
The gate, and the woman
Who calls, has given me the being:
My mother's coming for me.
To the mouth of death
The brave habaneros
They took off their hats.
Before the strong matron
And after we kissed
Like two fools, he said:
come on soon, come on son
The girl is alone, come on!
