Lamento Cubano [English translation]

Оh! Gorgeous and beautiful Cuba,

Why do you suffer

so grievously today?

Oh! My Country,

who knew,

that your blue sky

clouded by tears!

Oh! In whisper of the palm grove

You hear an echo

With pain in voice

Heard favorite name...

Oh! When I look

At your hot sun,

Your field, full of greenery

I think about the past

About the same Cuba...

Оh! Gorgeous and beautiful Cuba,

Why do you suffer

so grievously today?

Oh! My Country,

who knew,

that your blue sky

clouded by tears!
