"Oh, say, can you sing this?"

Here's the national anthem of Cuba. Oh, the irony.

"La Bayamesa" (The Bayamo Song)
Hasten to battle, men of Bayamo,
For the homeland looks proudly to you.
You do not fear a glorious death,
Because to die for the country is to live.

To live in chains
Is to live in dishonour and ignominy.
Hear the clarion call,
Hasten, braves ones, to battle!
