Curioso destino
Que aun me separa
De mi tierra adorada
Que no veo desde nina

No puedo olvidar
Eres parte de mi
Te quiero ver feliz
Un mar de recuerdos

Azota mi mente
De pueblos why gentes
Que yo he conocido
Curioso destino

Que aun me separa
Curioso destino
Que aun me separa
De mi tierra adorada

Que no veo desde nina
De mi tierra adorada
Que no veo desde nina
No puedo olvidar
Eres parte de mi
Te quiero ver feliz

Quiero mi cuba libre
Pa que la gente pueda
Pa que mi gente pueda bailar
A veces no entiendo

Lo mucho que extrano
Que a pesar de los anos
Te sigo queriendo
Sigo esperando

Yo te sigo sonando
Comparte tus penas
Estoy contigo llorando
No puedo olvidar
Eres parte de mi

Te quiero ver feliz
Quiero mi cuba libre
Pa que la gente pueda
Pa que mi gente pueda bailar
