Lyrics:
You see them in old Havana Playing cards, smoking cigars And they're polishing chromium fenders On their big old Yankee cars Manuel sits in La Casa de Rosa Drinking rum and watching the girls He whistles at the beautiful Maria And she smiles and tosses her curls Now the bartender strums his guitar And the rhythm plays out in the street Maria moves with a passion As her body sways in the heat And the old guys, smiling with pleasure For a moment they're young and they're strong And the young girls are giving them flowers As they sing their victory song Once we were bold companeros Running guns from the Florida Keys On the beach at Santiago de Cuba We were fighting with Fidel and Che He talks of the great revolution In words of sadness and pride And the medals he wears are the scars that he bears And he drinks for the friends who died We were farmers, we were poets and we were hungry All we wanted was our own piece of land We were fighting for our wives and children And freedom for every man Once we were bold companeros Running guns from the Florida Keys On the beach at Santiago de Cuba We were fighting with Fidel and Che Now the Yankees come for the fishing And their pockets are loaded with green Ten dollars will buy you a woman Or a tank of gasoline And the young kids are leaving the island And the old guys have nothing to say Manuel is living on dreams of the past And tonight he'll drink it away Once we were bold companeros Running guns from the Florida Keys On the beach at Santiago de Cuba We were fighting with Fidel and Che On the beach at Santiago de Cuba We were fighting with Fidel and Che
