Lyrics
Wake up, Fidel
Wake up
It's time for your fantasy
Come back, Fidel
Come back to the time when your land was free and happy
Come back to love
There was a girl
Remember her name?
Remember Anna
Remember her brown body
And her hair black as the wing of a raven
Remember the nights in the sugar cane, Fidel huh?
Where is Anna now, Fidel?
Where could she be now?
Your young lover
She's not free
You're not free
Love is not free
Come back, Fidel
Come back with me
Remember when your brothers loved you and cheered as you walked down the streets of the great city
Where are your brothers now, Fidel?
In a friendly land to the north
Why that's the greatest fantasy of all, Fidel
Are they really happy there?
Having left their homes and families
Ha ha ha, Fidel
They're not free
Your land's not free
You're not free
And what about the little children, Fidel?
Do you remember their laughing faces?
Their running feet?
They liked for you to read to them
Oh yes
Not from the thoughts of Mao
Or the writings of stodgy men like Lennon and Trotsky
But the fables of Aesop, Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen
Yes, Fidel
They too had a flair for fantasy
But now that's all that you have, Fidel
Oh, Fidel
You mustn't wake up
Do you know what's waiting for you in the world of reality?
Sleep is fleeting, Fidel
Your fantasy is ending
I must go, Fidel
Goodbye for now
Goodbye, Fidel
Goodbye
