Translation of the song Habana artist Miguel Bosé

Desde La Palma surqué los cielos

From La Palma I rode the skies

Con la ilusión de llegar a ti

With the hope of getting to you

Soñé entre nubes con todo aquello

I dreamed between clouds with all that

De un azul para no olvidar

Was unforgettably blue

Vino a mi mente todas las cosas

To my mind came all the things

Que me contaba abuelo de ti

That my grandpa used to tell me about you

Estar tan cerca de todo aquello

To be so close to all that

De tantas cosas para vivir

To so many things to live

Senti de pronto que me envolvía

I suddenly felt that I was enveloped

Un aire nuevo y una sonrisa

By a new air and a smile

Pisaba el suelo que tanto amé

I stepped on the land that I loved so much

Y tan real lo que yo sentia

And what I felt so real

Era tu voz, tu mirada serena

Was your voice, your peaceful gaze

Tu cielo abierto me recibía

Your open sky received me

Y un olor nuevo de piel morena

And a new fragrance of suntan skin

Apacible en el tiempo dama dormida

Gentle throughout time sleeping lady

Habana

Havana

Hermosa dama del Caribe

Beautiful Caribbean lady

Havana

Hace la herida entre dos mares

Makes a break between two seas

No hay poeta que no te vea y no se rinda

There is no poet that won't see you, that won't surrender

A la hermosura de tu gente y de tus calles

To the beauty of your people and your streets

Habana

Havana

Adormecida y en tu letargo

Sleepy and in your slumber

Sigue soñando con el amor que te sepa dar

Keep dreaming with the love that can be given

Un beso que te despierte y sentirte viva

By a kiss that will awaken you and feel alive

Dejando tu traje gris y poder volar

Leaving your gray suit and be able to fly

Mi Habana...

My Havana...
