La Habanera - Yello, Carl Craig

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
