When love looks out of your blue, bright and open eyes,
and the joy of gazing into them causes my heart to throb and glow;
And I hold you and kiss your rosy cheeks warm,
sweet girl and clasp you trembling in my arms,
Sweet girl, sweet girl, and press you firmly to my heart,
where until my dying moment I shall hold you tight -
My ecstatic gaze is blurred by a sombre cloud;
And I sit then exhausted, but blissful, by your side.

Caress upon the ocean
Carry the bird so light
Returning from snow lands.
Ephemeral winter air
In the distance your echo fades
Castles in Spain!
Turn in the wind, whirl,
Spread your wings
In the gray eastern dawn.
Find a path toward the rainbow
Spring will appear!
Caress upon the ocean
Sets down the bird so light
On the rock of a submerged island.
Ephemeral winter air
Finally your breath fades
Far into the mountains
Turn in the wind, whirl,
Spread your wings
In the gray eastern dawn.
Find a path toward the rainbow
Spring will appear!
Calm on the ocean.
That's a beautiful thing, that splendid coast.
Camaguey, how beautiful...those traditions,
oh, what marvelous sounds, the sounds of Camaguey
