[Verse 1]
Fidel Castro from Oriente
Battled Batista
Fidel Castro from Oriente
Battled Batista
And he liberated the country
With his men of dignity
[Chorus]
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel and the Cuban flag!
[Verse 2]
Every rebel went to the front
Holding the Cuban flag
Fighting there in the savanna
Until victory was achieved
So that in the histories, Cuba
Would be free and sovereign
[Chorus]
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel and the Cuban flag!
[Verse 3]
The country anxiously
Awaited Che Guevara
The country anxiously
Awaited Che Guevara
To give to Santa Clara
The light of liberty
[Chorus]
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel and the Cuban flag!
[Verse 4]
The land saw the cruelty
Of the despot dictator
But God, our Lord
Desired the tyrant gone
So that Cuba had a
Tiny bit of peace and love
[Chorus]
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel and the Cuban flag!
[Verse 5]
Batista was the most treacherous
Son Cuba has ever had
Batista was the most treacherous
Son Cuba has ever had
He fled, cowardly and defeated
Like a rat far away
[Chorus]
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel and the Cuban flag!
[Verse 6]
Everyone from the rich to the worker
Was humiliated by the beast
But Castro with all of Cuba
Had all his men organized
Until at last, he freed
Our glorious flag
[Chorus]
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel!
Long live Fidel!
And the Cuban flag!
