Havana

Habana

From La Palma, I soared through the skiesDesde La Palma surqué los cielos
with the hope of reaching you.con la ilusión de llegar a ti
I dreamed among the clouds of everythingsoñé entre nubes con todo aquello
in a blue I can't forget.de un azul para no olvidar.
All the things came to my mindVino a mi mente todas las cosas
that you told me, grandpa, about you,que me contabas abuelo de ti
being so close to all of that,estar tan cerca de todo aquello
so many things to live for.de tantas cosas para vivir.
I suddenly felt wrapped upSenti de pronto que me envolvía
in a new breeze and a smile.un aire nuevo y una sonrisa
I walked on the ground I loved so much,pisaba el suelo que tanto amé
and what I felt was so real.y tan real lo que yo sentia
It was your voice, your calm gaze,era tu voz, tu mirada serena
your open sky welcoming me,tu cielo abierto me recibía
and a new scent of brown skin,y un olor nuevo de piel morena
peaceful in time, sleeping lady.apacible en el tiempo dama dormida.
Havana,Habana
beautiful lady of the Caribbean.hermosa dama del Caribe
Havana,Habana
there's a wound between two seas.hace la herida entre dos mares
No poet can see you and not surrenderno hay poeta que no te vea y no se rinda
to the beauty of your people and your streets.a la hermosura de tu gente y de tus calles
Havana,Habana
sleepy and in your slumber,adormecida y en tu letargo
keep dreaming of the love that knows howsigue soñando con el amor que te sepa dar
to give you a kiss that wakes you up and makes you feel alive,un beso que te despierte y sentirte viva
leaving your gray dress behind and being able to fly.dejando tu traje gris y poder volar
Havana,Habana
my Havana...mi Habana...
