Translation of the song lyrics Palmeras Tropicales - Celia Cruz, La Sonora Matancera

Palmeras Tropicales (original)

Cubita, isla bonita
Cubita, verde ilusión
Entre tus llanuras y palmeras hechiceras
Suavemente se enredó mi corazón
Tus cafetales desvelan
La lira de mi canción
Y con el guarapo de tu caña endulzaste
Suavemente para siempre mi razón
Eres linda y hechicera
Eres cuba, mi inspiración
Eres linda y hechicera
Eres cuba, mi inspiración
Atiéndeme, escúchame
Atiéndeme, escucha mi cantar
Atiéndeme, cuba hermosa, atiéndeme
Atiéndeme, escucha mi cantar
Escucha cuba querida
Lo que te quiero cantar
Que vas conquistando ciertamente
Mostrándole a la gente tu belleza tropical
Tus cafetales desvelan
La lira de mi canción
Y con el guarapo de tu caña endulzaste
Suavemente para siempre mi razón
Eres linda y hechicera
Eres cuba, mi inspiración
Eres linda y hechicera
Eres cuba, mi inspiración
Atiéndeme, escúchame
Atiéndeme, escucha mi cantar
Atiéndeme, cuba linda, atiéndeme
Atiéndeme, escucha mi cantar

Palmeras Tropicales (translation)

Cubita, beautiful island
Cubita, illusion green
Between your plains and bewitching palm trees
Gently my heart entangled
Your coffee plantations reveal
The lyre of my song
And with the guarapo from your cane you sweetened
Gently forever my reason
you are cute and charming
You are Cuba, my inspiration
you are cute and charming
You are Cuba, my inspiration
Listen to me, listen to me
Listen to me, listen to my singing
Take care of me, beautiful Cuba, take care of me
Listen to me, listen to my singing
listen cuba dear
What I want to sing to you
that you are conquering certainly
Showing people your tropical beauty
Your coffee plantations reveal
The lyre of my song
And with the guarapo from your cane you sweetened
Gently forever my reason
you are cute and charming
You are Cuba, my inspiration
you are cute and charming
You are Cuba, my inspiration
Listen to me, listen to me
Listen to me, listen to my singing
Take care of me, beautiful Cuba, take care of me
Listen to me, listen to my singing
