The Sandpipers - Cuando salí de Cuba

[94958501]

Isso é que é música. Isso que podemos chamar de música. Eu ainda não sei o ano dela, mas deve ser do final dos anos 60. Quem viveu naquela época é abençoado.

[amateurphilosopher]

I really like this song, especially the spoken part in the middle. Beautiful poetry that makes a powerful and poignant statement. I wonder if this part was written by the original songwriter, or was it added by the Sandpipers?

[1957pinup]

Whoever recorded this on their phone needs to turn it sideways next time

[amateurphilosopher]

Could someone please translate the Spanish lyrics into English?

[achahei]

Fans of The Sandpipers may also like "Free To Carry On", a much under-appreciated effort from this group. Check it out on YouTube.

Que saudades de Ana Margarita, que conheci no Brasil, uma linda cubana .

[masquenada8]

they are from Spain.

[Wabbitpawz]

@masquenada8 They are American...

[TheLuizcarloscunha]

um abismo cultural separa esta relíquia musical do resto do restolho do lixo musical atual.

[boumeringue]

Even people who were not born there yearn to go back to that wonderful country if they have been privileged enough to visit it.

[neukertification]

The backgrounds singers or vocalist is awesome....who is she? Beautiful song by the Sandpipers. I can't get any of their songs from I-tunes.

[achahei]

I believe this song captures the sentiments of Cuban emigres in the USA for their beloved homeland. 

[Garpinator]

@achahei It was written by Argentinian Luis Aguilé who dedicated it to the Cubans who left their beautiful island after the rise of the Castro regime.

[coloresperanza1000]

@Garpinator I thought it was written by Jose marti the famous cuban writer who also wrote the world wide famous " La Paloma".

[Garpinator]

@coloresperanza1000 No. You are probably thinking of La Guantanamera, the lyrics of which are based on a Jose Marti poem.

[BALLADS1]

SANDPIPERS sing wonderfully this beautiful classic Hit from 1969 great days.

[korekenke]

Cuando escucho esta cancion se me cae las lagrimas porque a finales de la dictadura de fujimori tuve que salir de mi pais (PERU) deje a mi madre en lagrimas un hondo dolor en mi familia pensando aver perdido para siempre a ellos y no poder regresar nunca mas a mi tierra que me vio nacer y crecer como odio "LAS DICTADURAS" que mal hace a un pueblo, asi como yo cuantos en el mundo partieron desterrados y no poder regresar a su patria?...

[kostgian]

great song and interpretation!

[mastellarobr]

Muito emociante esta canção, ouvia muito quando criança !!

Parabéns, obrigado, gracias, grazie, merci, thanks !!!

[OldieJammer]

What's up with the middle guy? Did he have some kind of back injury? And the guy on the right, is that Benny Hill's twin brother?

[lindylou381]

@OldieJammer Wot do you look like?

[OldieJammer]

@lindylou381 I am a cross between Shrek and ET

[lindylou381]

@OldieJammer Well they are 1 up on you then. At least they can sing.

[OldieJammer]

@lindylou381 Not really as I can act.

[KaptKan1]

These guys always sang with a group of girls, but you never see them in their performances. Porque? No lo entiendo.

[claudiormarques1]

MARAVILHOSA......

[MegaJbo]

beleza

[loredp]

Para mi the Sand Pipers son algo muy especial, no solo por sus lindisimas canciones , pero mas aun por lo que me hace recordar mis tiempos de juventud, mi Padre nos enseño desde chicos a apreciar la buena musica y todo lo bueno y maravilloso de esta vida.

mrjonashenrique(24/01/2010)

quando ouço estas musicas dos anos, 60 70, fico pensando porque estas decadas, vieram todos artistas fantasticos, hoje em 2010 fico vendo ai a tal ivete sangalo, bruno e marrone alexandre pires, e outros lixos musicais, graças a deus temos a internet, que nos da a opurtunidade, de rever estes grandes artistas, porque estes que eu citei,dão dor de cabeça em cavalinhos de carrocel.

[Diegoshigueokato]

atençao p/ esta caçao muito linda ,boltei

[LindaDooWop]

Music for freedom!! My heart is sad.

[nightwing1409]

After my father returned from Vietnam in 1970 with a library of tape cassettes The Sandpipers became a staple of the families musical taste (I was 12 at the time). There lovely harmonic tunes have remained with me through the years and remind me of those happy days. I think the group and there music were very much under rated. Thank you Jim Brady, Mike Piano, Richard Shoff (and Pamela Ramcier): The Sandpipers.

[lakings13]

greatest group ever, Sandpipers made music to dream by...

[vesnamariasite]

Bravo, bravo !!! 5***** Maria.

[1yuvan]

It's been over 40 years since I heard this beautiful sad and tender song! thank you for posting it, All the Sand Pipers sing in spanish album was wonderfull, I wish I had it.

[gasguy12]

This has always been one of my favourites. I love to read the comments, especially on the music with beautiful lyrics and a lot emotion in it. Posting from Antwerp, Belgium, I'd love to have some contact with soulmates loving emotional songs. In Dutch:

Dit is altijd één van mijn favorieten geweest. Ik lees erg graag de commentaren, vooral die van de liedjes met zalige teksten en die emotievol zijn. Zou zalig zijn contact te hebben met mensen van over de oceaan die ook houden van deze muziek.

[connie2009i]

a beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3753mail]

a beautiful song..sung with much feeling..

[heliolcarvalho]

a melodia e muito bonita,eu gostaria de ter a traduçao da letraem portugues

[augustojaf]

basta traduzir,espanhoel nao é assim tao diferente do portugues.

"nunca poderei morrer,meu coracao nao o tenho aqui,ai esta me esperando,esta aguardando que eu volte ai.

quando sai de cuba,deixei minha vida deixei meu amor,quando sai de cuba,deixei enterrado meu coracao.

bate e segue batendo,porque minha terra vida lhe da,porem chegara o dia em minha mao o encontrara.

uma triste tormenta esta te acoitando sem descancar,porem o sol de teus filhos a calma ,pronto,te fara alcancar"..

[kostgian]

i was searching...i searching...i searching for years ....this is the best version....in memoriam of my friend Pedro the greek that was my teacher in Spanish-Latin America culture and music.....but i dont agree that Fidel made everything wrong.....the history proved that.....

[AnaJilK]

It's the best version for you and the only version for me :). But it's really beautiful... Thank you so much for sharing and thanks monre1949 for posting it *****

[ShesBroadwayBound]

It's Fidel who caused songs like this to be written in the first place. No one would have left if he hadn't taken over. Please don't talk about what you don't know.

Cuba Libre<3

[kostgian]

lets taulk please............ for the famous works and days of prominents mr/ladys=reagan,g.w.bush,thatc­her etc etc...............Fidel was the leader over 60 years only in a small island....with a criminel blockade from the greatest of the world nation-neighbor.......if you dont want to speek about the above prominents leaders lets please.............. to speek about batista,s daughters of cuba............

[edtx1949]

@ShesBroadwayBound actually was written in the 1800 by the poet and patriot Jose Marti

[coloresperanza1000]

@ShesBroadwayBound You are completely right about what you're saying of castro but I was under the impression this song was written in 1800 by Jose Marti. He wrote many songs about his lovely Cuba and how it missed it in his trips to spain (before Castro).

[ed07087]

If by everything you 100%, then you would be right. But 99% comes pretty close.

[dagoned]

oh wow this is an amazing translation of the original song.loving both of them. yeah boiii

[AnneCherch]

What a beautiful song. I just remembered now to search for it. It always reminds me of a guy I used to know back when who used to love this song.

[pertlolo18]

[terminator7251]

Creo que muchos Cubanos jovenes nacido en los 60, no han escuchado esta linda cancion y cuando lo oigan seguro les va a gustar.

[juntripps]

i've been looking for sandpipers' album for the last 35 years, and was not able to find one; at least, the one who posted this is doing me a very, very good favor. thanks!!

[123strauss]

What Sandpipers album are you looking for

[gehanlal]

I migrated from Sri Lanka to Sydney Australia over 38 years ago, and this song always brings a tear to my eye. Thank U for sharing this!

[CubanodePlacetas]

[marcos231061]

e um dos videos mais belo que existe,nota 1000.muita saudade do tempo que se foi,mas ficou muita coisa boa.

[whatever9642]

Wow! Did we really dress like that in the 60's?

I have this song on vinyl (yes, I still play thenm occasionally)- thanks for the video. I never had a chance to see these guys live.

[kamalzakitawadros]

Any person who feels 'lonely' in this 'material' world or 'literally' homesick would, I trust, be extremely touched by this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What happened to this world????????????, I (speaking for myself) can see nothing but hypocrisy..............

[Vecchiopassofundo]

Inesquecível!

[gaaraenzo]
