On the Havana plain
Between Madruga and Guines
On the Havana plain
Between Madruga and Guines
Like beautiful coma guines
Sings the Havana orchard
How good the red lips are
She really likes a red lip
Run, run, run, run
Red, lip, red
Red, red, red
That's a red lip
A few years ago I left
From my beloved homeland
And I still remember
Its streets and its valleys
I adored its huts
I would grab onto the palm trees
They were always, always roofed
With pieces of old palm leaves
I am a sailor with a good bay
I am a sailor with a good bay
I have four doves
In a basin on a hill
I give them all water
They all take a little sip
None of them get angry
How good my doves are
How good they are
How good they are
How good they are
Oh, red, red
A little bird in its cage
Flies and flies without stopping
Always searching for the sea
If it saw a way to escape
Poor thing, oh, how it suffers
Searching for its freedom, and I
I, like the bird, want
To regain my freedom
Come, come, come, come
Come, come, come, come
Come, come, come, come
What color
What color
What color
What color
What color
They buried in the afternoon
Juan Simón's daughter
Juan Simón was in the town
The only gravedigger, red
He himself, to his own daughter
And you'll see
Took her to the cemetery
He himself dug the grave
Imploring a prayer
Red, in one hand
Begging for a prayer
Colorá, in one hand
In one hand the shovel
And in the other the hoe
And when they asked him
Where do you come from Juan Simón
And he said, I am a gravedigger
and I come to
I am an undertaker and I come to
Jaime Serrada's sweat drops
I get them
Turn it up Pedro, turn it up, turn it up
Oh colora, oh colorao'
