The place that I come from, I barely remember
  The place that I come from, I barely remember
  But the soul of my people will be with me forever
  The soul of my people will be with me forever
  Swept by an ocean of beautiful memories
  Of people and places, that I carry with me
  Of people and places, that I carry with me
  
  The place that I come from, I barely remember
  The place that I come from, I barely remember
  But the soul of my people will be with me forever
  The soul of my people will be with me forever
  You're hard to forget, though we're apart, you live in my heart
  
  Quiero mi cuba libre (I want my cuba free)
  Pa que la gente pueda (so that the people can)
  Pa que mi gente pueda bailar (so that the people can dance)
  Quiero mi cuba libre
  Pa que la gente pueda
  Pa que mi gente pueda bailar
  
  I pray that the rain will bathe you in freedom
  Only music and laughter
  Be heard on the breeze
  And forever after our dance will continue
  And I will at last get to see you again
  You're hard to forget, though we're apart, you live in my heart
  
  Quiero mi cuba libre
  Pa que la gente pueda
  Pa que mi gente pueda bailar
  Quiero mi cuba libre
  Pa que la gente pueda
  Pa que mi gente pueda bailar
