En Cuba, la isla hermosa
del ardiente sol,
bajo su cielo azul,
adorable trigueña,
de todas las flores
la reina eres tú.
La palma que en el bosque
se mece gentil
tu sueño arrulló,
y un beso de la brisa
al morir de la tarde
te despertó.
Fuego sagrado guarda tu corazón,
el claro cielo su alegría te dio,
y en tus miradas ha confundido Dios,
de tus ojos, la noche y la luz
de los rayos del Sol.
Dulce es la caña pero más lo es tu voz
que la amargura quita del corazón,
y al contemplarte suspira mi laúd
bendiciéndote, hermosa sin par,
porque Cuba eres tú.
Y al contemplarte suspira mi laúd
bendiciéndote, hermosa sin par,
porque Cuba eres tú,
porque Cuba eres tú.
