Habanera Sola

by Chucho Valdes, David Alvarez and Juego de Manos

A slow romantic Ballad"Habanera Sola", with Chucho Valdes on piano and David Alvarez vocals and flute. It is a nostalgic song about a Cuban girl being left behind when her partner leaves a better life across the water.

when the moon flies over the sea,

with your soul of anchor ship, you weigh anchor,

afterwards you sing your pain to the wind,

lamp of memories paving stone of love.
