With permission of the Zafiros and all due respect
This beautiful Habana also has other secrets
Those which do not appear in any tourist center because the image of this beautiful place must be maintained
Oh my Habana, to the outsider it's easy. Where almost all the passing cars are taxis
My touristic city, settled by educated people, that connects to the internet at the speed of dial up
Oh Habana, I don't know if your pier is a place to pass the time or an extensive office of immigration
Your walkways, hotels and secret brothels for cheating husbands are adorable
You traded Che Guevara for money and now you can buy a naked picture of him
The Habana of college students and rough police that by a miracle made it through preschool but just be a hair
The Habana of exterminated humans
and the Cuban that will step on his fellow Cuban for foreign currency
Where they lend a hand only when they assume that later they will be paid double for their good deeds
Habana of brick roads, movie theaters, bicycles, fairs, dispensed agriculture, pipes, train whistles,
Hysteria in Cerro, Marinao, Luyano, Buena Vista and other humble neighborhoods
that you don't see in magazines
Bars, solar panels, parks, dog collars, Santeros that for one euro fall down to Saint Peter
The capital where we learned from a young age
The offspring that will end up corrupt prostitutes
Habana of politicians, male sex workers and whores
Because only selling yourself can you enjoy a soda
stop signs, discussions, friends to go out with
People who without permission get in people's business
That's my Habana
human, solidarity, and Communist
with European convictions we're ready for war
I don't know if it's the capital for all Cubans
because the people from Guinea are immigrants, the Chileans a brother
Habana revolutionary and loyal
with tuna in it's stores and lotion in it's markets
Where there is patriotism but if they open up the port
only a Chinese man and his brother will remain
Habana where from birth you get a free education
vaccinations, parks, theaters, beaches, transportation, and incredible agility to ask for gum from tourists
Habana of cabaret, nightclubs, open bars, tobacco, bicycle taxis, beans, judges and cells
parties, dead good intentions and bureaucrats addicted to closing the door
on those who cry on the 31st of December
and don't let the three wise men in
It's illogical and sad at the same time man
because they are the ones that march every May 1st
My Habana is a little girl that wakes up euphoric and goes out into the middle of a psychological war
that covers and resolves every error
saying not to complain that it's worse in Africa
historic beauty surrounded by water
while the whole world skis she runs behind the bus
It's the only place on earth that gets food with a ration book
Habana of poets
Where 14 year olds are already sexually active
Where on the first date they don't ask for your hand
because another hand asks for money when they visit
beautiful mulattoes, victims of consumerism
They gave their youth to tourism
When asked about their fantasies
they respond to get on an airplane and not bribe anymore police
Habana divided, mickey, retro, crazy that feels hated for the laws that they post on the podium
enemy of imperialism and exploitation
that pays in pesos and charges in dollars
take this song Habana, not pretty but sincere
By a Habanero that wants to see you happy
because even though the leaders made you look nice, I know that you heart is slowly deteriorating
I was born in Habana, I am a Habanero
