entertaining, inspiring & organising to change the world!

Cuba si!

Mirando bien de cerca, lo que antes no podia

Camino por el cuerpo, rayo, tierra y estrellas

Aprendímos a contar, leer y escribir

Ahora si marchamos nadien puede deternos

Una pequeña piesa donde puedo descansar

Obreros, campesinos, gente simple con amor

Y puedo ser un negro, mujer o labrador

nadien nos detene

Preparados a vencer!

This is the cuba that i love

Un pueblo con cariño, pueblo con amor

Amigos, compañeros, juntos caminando

En el malecon, en el malecon

El mar gigante y azul

Abierto para todos, ancho como el sol

Gigante abierto democratico

En mi corazon en mi corazon

That tiny little island con un grande corazon

The Yankees bitter pill they’ve tried to swallow for so long

Uncle Sam’s got his plans, and his nasty power plays

but tiny little Cuba keeps on getting in the way

Where the streets are alive with the spirit of Martí

inspired by love and solidarity

standing united defending their nation

there’s more to life than levi’s and a sony playstation

And they can vilify, assassinate, blockade and humiliate

lie, and cheat, sabotage and collaborate

but the message of peace, compassion and freedom

is so much stronger than their message of hate

And all you fukiyamas and all your fucking friends

where’s your end of history?

Look at Cuba once again

Cause if you think that this will be a walk in the park

this is not Grenada, Panama or Iraq

History has shown

and has made it very clear

you can kill a revolutionary

but not the idea

cause everytime the Yankees threat becomes real

like superman they find the revolution’s made of steel

and all your guns and tanks will fade away

because the revolution is here to stay

Yes the fact remains that Cuba’s still there

fighting against poverty, injustice and despair

You can kill many people sow discontent and fear

But you can’t kill a spirit or kill an idea

An idea whose time has come,

building like a tsunami

A revolutionary consciousness,

a revolutionary army

Socialismo o muerte it’s not just words

and throughout Latin America it’s starting to be heard

and all this is pointing to a glorious future

for there’ll be one, two three, many more Cuba’s
