Who will tell of your wonder?
And the twisting and turning
Of your body and feet
As the hands roll it all
On the cleanest shores
With only sugarcane
From the overgrown fields
Who will tell of your wonder?
Of self satisfaction of contentment
That all must be respected
Not because of black or white
But traditions which are valued
And tied with culture to preserve
To remain green as ever, oh wonderful.
Who will tell of your wonder
O land of beautiful people
The sun will not stop setting
on your clean beaches
and keeping the sleeping night awake
in joy on the streets
oh wonderful like Patio Alberto Cecilia Julia
Beautiful Havana wonderful Havana
Which will make you wonder and marvel
O wonderful people our friends
Having love in their hearts
And true smile on their bright faces
unlike those who took away
their canes from their fields,
let not the sun stop shinning
on their beaches o Havana
Beautiful Havana wonderful Havana
Where our minds were shaped
Fidel’s Havana Marti’s Havana
In envy they sought to destroy
The twisting and turning
Of your body and feet
Which the hand rolls all along
In wonder to watch from afar
Beautiful Havana wonderful Havana
Wonderful people with love in their hearts
True smiles which faded not
In winter like in summer
Of her twisting and turning
I have watched from afar
In wonder, I would learn to be like her
