Paroles de Cuban Soldier

Far away in a Spanish dungeon A Cuban soldier lay Slowly dying from the torture Inflicted day by day He begged to send a message But this kindness was denied So he called his comrades to him And told his story e're he died When Cubie gains her freedom And the Spaniards cease to reign There's a loved one on that island I will never see again Oh find her for me comrades And tell her you were by my side And I bid you take this message To a soldiers promised bride Tis the same old story comrades Love weeps when beauty is done When Cubie was struggling for her freedom I was ordered to my gun Though I'm a captain dying The struggle will soon be o'er Tell her I said to meet m Where the soldiers fight no more
