Chan Chan [English translation]

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané

I arrive in Cueto, I go to Mayarí

The love that I have for you

I can't deny it

I drool a bit1

I can't help it

When Juanica and Chan Chan

were sifting sand at the sea

The way she shook the sifter

made Chan Chan sad

Clean the road of straws

because I want to sit down

on that tree trunk that I see

And that way I can't arrive

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané

I arrive in Cueto, I go to Mayarí
