Raul Malo

For thirty years they sang the
song of promised victory
But who theyve fought and who has won
Didnt matter much to me
I see them driving down the streets
In their fancy shiny cars
Crowds of people to their feet
Their faces full of scars
No pleasantries, no luxuries
No little childrens milk
While ministers wives spent
all their lives
In Chinas finest silk
My backs been broken many times
But my spirit lingers on
The day it comes my way on
freedoms ship
I will be gone
Chorus
From hell to paradise
Ill always pay the price
From hell to paradise
Ill always pay the price
This ninety mile trip
has taken thirty years to make
They tried to keep
forever what was never theirs to take
I cursed and scratched the devils hand
As he stood in front of me
One last drag from his big cigar
And he finally set me free
Repeat chorus twice
Con ojos tiernos algun dia te mirare
Con brases abiertos algun dia abrasare
Hay mi Havana cuando pueda regresare
Translation:
With tender eyes someday Ill look at you
With open arms someday Ill embrace you
My old Havana someday I will return
[ At Last Lyrics ]
