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 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 my 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 wil 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
