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
