Don’t call me anymore, and get me out of everywhere. Get me off the TV, get me off the radio. The only place they won’t be able to get me out of is from the hearts of all Cubans. Wherever I am, I will be in the hearts and minds of all Cubans. I just have to tell you: May Yemayá’s blessing always reach everyone!
