The question is whether Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft and others will be able to do enough to help the communist authorities crush this evil insurrection.

But... but.. they have the greatest free health care in the world! Michael Moore said so. Michael Moore wouldn't lie. Would he? And Bernie Sanders says that “Literacy Brigades'' went out and taught the peasants..er, ah... the people how do read. Gosh Cuba sounds like paradise. Why would the people be so upset? (s).

And you are my siren song
Y eres tú mi canto de sirena

Because with your voice my sorrows go away
Porque con tu voz se van mis penas

And this feeling is already stale
Y este sentimiento ya está añejo

You hurt me so much even though you are far away
Tú me dueles tanto aunque estés lejos
Today I invite you to walk through my lots
Hoy yo te invito a caminar por mis solares

To show you that your ideals serve
Pa’ demostrarte de que sirven tus ideales

We are human although we do not think alike
Somos humanos aunque no pensemos iguales

Let’s not treat or harm ourselves like animals
No nos tratemos ni dañemos como animales
This is my way of telling you
Esta es mi forma de decírtelo

My people cry and I feel their voice
Llora mi pueblo y siento yo su voz

You five nine me, double two
Tu cinco nueve yo, doble dos

Sixty years locked the domino
Sesenta años trancado el dominó
Bass drum and saucer to the five hundred of Havana
Bombo y platillo a los quinientos de la Habana

While at home in the pots they no longer have jama
Mientras en casa en las cazuelas ya no tienen jama

What do we celebrate if people walk fast?
¿Qué celebramos si la gente anda deprisa?

Trading Che Guevara and Martí for the currency
Cambiando al Che Guevara y a Martí por la divisa
Everything has changed, it is no longer the same
Todo ha cambiado ya no es lo mismo

Between you and me there is an abyss
Entre tú y yo hay un abismo

Advertising a paradise in Varadero
Publicidad de un paraíso en Varadero

While mothers cry for their children who left
Mientras las madres lloran por sus hijos que se fueron
you five nine, me, double two
tu cinco nueve, yo, doble dos

(It’s over) sixty years locked the dominoes, look
(Ya se acabó) sesenta años trancado el dominó, mira

(It’s over) your five nine, me, double two
(Se acabó) tu cinco nueve, yo, doble dos

(It’s over) sixty years locking the domino
(Ya se acabó) sesenta años trancando el dominó
We are artists, we are sensitivity
Somos artistas, somos sensibilidad

The true story, not the wrong one
La historia verdadera, no la mal contada

We are the dignity of an entire people trampled on
Somos la dignidad de un pueblo entero pisoteada

At gunpoint and with words that are still nothing
A punta de pistola y de palabras que aún son nada
No more lies
No más mentiras

My people ask for freedom, no more doctrines
Mi pueblo pide libertad, no más doctrinas

Let’s no longer shout homeland or death but homeland and life
Ya no gritemos patria o muerte sino patria y vida

And start building what we dream of
Y empezar a construir lo que soñamos

What they destroyed with their hands
Lo que destruyeron con sus manos
That the blood does not continue to flow
Que no siga corriendo la sangre

For wanting to think differently
Por querer pensar diferente

Who told you that Cuba is yours?
¿Quién le dijo que Cuba es de ustedes?

If my Cuba belongs to all my people
Si mi Cuba es de toda mi gente
your time is up, the silence is broken
ya se venció tu tiempo, se rompió el silencio

(It’s over) the laughter is over and the crying is already running
(Ya se acabó) ya se acabó la risa y el llanto ya está corriendo

(It’s over) and we’re not afraid, the deception is over
(Se acabó) y no tenemos miedo, se acabó el engaño

(It’s over) it’s sixty-two hurting
(Ya se acabó) son sesenta y dos haciendo daño
There we live with the uncertainty of the past, planted
Allí vivimos con la incertidumbre del pasado, plantado

Fifteen friends on, ready to die
Quince amigos puestos, listos pa’ morirnos

We raise the flag still the repression of the regime to the day
Izamos la bandera todavía la represión del régimen al día

Anamel and Ramón firm with their poetry
Anamel y Ramón firme con su poesía
Omara Ruiz Urquiola giving us encouragement, of life
Omara Ruiz Urquiola dándonos aliento, de vida

They broke down our door, they raped our temple
Rompieron nuestra puerta, violaron nuestro templo

And the world is aware
Y el mundo ‘tá consciente

That the San Isidro movement continues, since
De que el movimiento San Isidro continua, puesto
We continue in the same, security putting prism
Seguimos en las mismas, la seguridad metiendo prisma

These things make me indignant, the enigma is over
Esas cosas a mí como me indignan, se acabó el enigma

Ya sa ‘your evil revolution, I am Funky style, here is my signature
Ya sa’ tu revolución maligna, soy Funky style, aquí tienes mi firma

You are already left over, you have nothing left, you are already going down
Ya ustedes están sobrando, ya no le queda nada, ya se van bajando

The town got tired of holding on
El pueblo se cansó de estar aguantando

A new dawn we are waiting for
Un nuevo amanecer estamos esperando
It’s over, you five nine, me, double two
Se acabó, tu cinco nueve, yo, doble dos

It’s over, sixty years locked dominoes, look
Ya se acabó, sesenta años trancado el dominó, mira

It’s over, you five nine, me, double two
Se acabó, tu cinco nueve, yo, doble dos

It’s over, sixty years locking the domino
Ya se acabó, sesenta año trancando el dominó
Homeland and life
Patria y vida

Homeland and life
Patria y vida

Homeland and life
Patria y vida

Sixty years locked the domino
Sesenta años trancado el dominó

“Díaz-Canel has said Cuba is facing difficulties that it knew were coming when the U.S. put tight economic sanctions on the country.”

Excuses excuses, you only have the entire rest of the world to trade with. Iran lives pretty well and gets no American trade either.
