lyrics

EL DANZÓN DE NOVENTA MILLAS/THE NINETY MILE DANZON

Pa'l jardinero que ama a sus flores,
El gusano es lo mejor
Pero en el cantero que es la Cuba
El gusano es un traidor
For the gardener that loves his flowers, the worm is the best.
But in the garden that is Cuba, that worm is a traitor.

Me parece que no hay remedio
Este humo no nos deja ver
Ha explotado una bomba nueva
Sobre este juego de ajedrez
It seems to me that there is no other choice,this smoke doesn't let us see. A new bomb has exploded over this game of chess

CORO/CHORUS
El mar que nos divide es un danzón de noventa millas, donde uno nada mucho pa' morir en la orilla.
The sea that divides us is a ninety-mile danzon, where one swims so much only to die on the shore

Este carro de cincuenta años
No camina por que esta ponchada
Una goma que no aguanta aire
Hasta la rueda esta prestada
This fifty-year old car doesn't run because a tire that can't hold air is flat. Even the wheel is borrowed

CORO/CHORUS
El compromiso de los bailadores
En la Habana como en la Souwesera
Es un espejo de los deseos
Pa' los que bailan con lo que era
The dancers' commitment, in Havana as in Southwest Miami,
is a mirror of desires for those who dance with what was.

CORO/CHORUS
Vamos a mover las fichas
A este juego hay que darle mano
Aunque uno nunca 'ta seguro
Si el enemigo es un hermano
Let's scramble the dominos; with this game, you gotta be aggressive, even though one is never sure if the enemy is a brother
