Cuban Bartender

Cantinero De Cuba

My Cuba has a sound and a barTiene mi Cuba un son y una cantina
Made of sugar cane and rum and sea waterHecha de caña y ron y agua marina
The bartender is a good CubanEl cantinero es un buen cubano
Whose love story turned him badQue una historia de amor lo volvió malo

When he goes to the port, he always looks outCuando va para el puerto siempre se asoma
Waiting for the message from a doveEsperando el mensaje de una paloma
He curses the most sailor windsÉl maldice a los vientos más marineros
Why did they inflate the sails of that sailboat?¡Por qué hincharon las velas de aquel velero!

Today I want to get drunk, I need to be lovedHoy me quiero emborrachar, necesito ser amado
To forget a past that cannot be forgottenPara olvidar un pasado que no se puede olvidar
If I could sing, but sorrow chokes meSi yo pudiera cantar, pero la pena me ahoga
I remember her at all times, and I can't forget herLa recuerdo a todas horas, y no la puedo olvidar
