Team Asere lyrics
Asereeee
That’s how I named my Team
Because I came to give everything
Let no one doubt
I am the cannon of these times
Q with bat in hand
I lift my Cuba in weight
And I assure you that I win
Come on
Don’t underestimate my story
What do you learn from defeats?
to believe in victory
without water and handsome
The whole world knows my brother
that trembles the strong earth
where the cubans tread
asere
Do not get confused
I dreamed of playing in the big ones
And that dream came true
is that the country does not matter
Where today I can be living
What matters is that I am Cuban
reyoyo by birth
now that we are here
There is no space for sadness
The cards on the table
Here he came to play
Medal I don’t know
If any I can win
But the choir of my people
If I’m going to take it
Chorus: Córrete a tin pa there
leave yourself to the tares
Do not break my balance with your bad habit asere
Chorus: I walk with Yemaya
And with all the powers
Ta weno yaaaaa
I am Team asere
