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
