Lyrics
English: To whoever waits for me in good or bad faith / To whoever asks me / What did you see in Cuba? / I will answer / The revolution / Friend, I saw the revolution / From Havana to Santiago, in the people / Day by day the revolution / Man by man the revolution / As an ongoing struggle in the present / To whoever waits for me in good or bad faith / To whoever asks me «Did you see Fidel?» / I will answer / Friend, yes, I saw him / I saw seven million Fidels / From Havana to Santiago, in the people / Day by day always with Fidel / Man by man always with Fidel / In the ongoing struggle with the present / To whoever waits for me in good or bad faith / To whoever asks me / Did Fidel speak to you? / I will shout / Cuba spoke to me / The duty of the revolutionary is only to make the revolution / And the only way is armed struggle, it is the guerrilla war in Vietnam / As in Bolivia, so in Vietnam / To whoever waits in sheer bad faith / And still asks / Did Fidel speak to you? / I will shout / Cuba spoke to me.... / Create two, three, many Vietnams.... / Cuba spoke to me about you too.... / And in your factory your Vietnam / In your boss your Vietnam / In your school your Vietnam / In the police charge your Vietnam / Create two, three, many Vietnams.... / Day by day you are in Vietnam / Hour by hour you are in Vietnam / Cuba spoke to me against you.... / Create two, three, many Vietnams... __________ Italian: A chi mi aspetta in buona o mala fede / A chi mi chiede / A Cuba cos'hai…
