Somos Cubanos

Para que el mundo sepa el porqué de nuestro sabor
¡Cubano, vamos pallá (para allá)!
En mil cuatrocientos llegó Colón
Y descubrió esta hermosa isla
Donde habitaba la raza india
La que con el tiempo se exterminó. ¡Abusador!
Llegó la raza africana
Y la mezclaron con la española
Nació la mulata criolla
La cubana
Era una mezcla diferente
Con mucho sabor
Acompañada de la rumba y el guaguancó
Dueños de la clave
Y la magia del tres más dos
Que nos hizo tan especiales
Gracias a Dios
Somos cubanos, español y africano
Somos la mezcla perfecta
La combinación más pura, cubano
La más grande creación, seguro que sí
¡Bendito seas Señor por darnos tanta pimienta
Tanta sabrosura y tanto corazón!
Cubano que soy, adonde quiera que vamos
Ponemos la cosa buena, somos candela
Permiso, permiso, permiso, permiso
Permiso ahí que llegaron los cubanos a recoger
Rumba marigua, negro cimarrón
