La Habanera    

This is Havana 
The night before the revolution 
Carlos Romero Pambo plays the symphony 
For latin piano 
Popping corks and blasting bullets 
La Habanera dances in the streets 
And like every night 
Pedro Comacho sells peanuts 
Outside the Tropicana Club 

Don't ask me why 
Life is one day 
La Habanera 
La Habanera 
She dances on the street at night 
La Habanera 
La Habanera 
She is ready for a fight 

Don't ask my why 

Pedro Comacho 
The former informer of the secret police 
Is still standing outside the club 
Pretending to be blind 
He watches the last plane to Miami 
Disappearing in a flaming purple sky 
Now he knows 
He has been left behind 

Don't ask me why 
Life is one day 
La Habanera 
La Habanera 
She dances under street lights 
La Habanera 
La Habanera 
She is ready for a fight
