If I had one wish it'd be for Cuba to change,
Because I think that all the Cubains are in pain.
All the joy in the world from sea to shining sea
Doesn't mean a thing if Cubains aren't free.

I just can't be very happy, that's certain,
Not as long as your Cubains are hurten.
Oh, won't you search your soul and find
A way to change your mind?

That is my one and only wish!
