Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Noche Cubana by Omara Portuondo from Spanish to English.
Morena bonita de alma sensual
Pretty brunette with a sensual soul
Con tu sonrisa de luna
With your moon smile
Y ojos de estrellas
and eyes of stars
Voz de susurro de fronda y arrullo de mar
Voice of leaf whisper and sea lullaby
Besas con brisa y tu abrazo es calor tropical
You kiss with a breeze and your hug is tropical heat
Noche criolla, quién junto a ti no, no quisiera soñar
Creole night, who next to you wouldn't want to dream
Quién a la luz de tu dulce sonrisa no quiere besar
Who in the light of your sweet smile does not want to kiss
Negra bonita de ojos de estrellas
Pretty black woman with starry eyes
En tus brazos morenos
In your brown arms
Quiere vivir un romance mi alma bohemia
My bohemian soul wants to live a romance
Voz de susurro de fronda y arrullo de mar
Voice of leaf whisper and sea lullaby
Besas con brisa y tu abrazo es calor tropical
You kiss with a breeze and your hug is tropical heat
Noche criolla, quién junto a ti no, no quisiera soñar
Creole night, who next to you wouldn't want to dream
Quién a la luz de tu dulce sonrisa no quiere besar
Who in the light of your sweet smile does not want to kiss
Negra bonita de ojos de estrellas
Pretty black woman with starry eyes
En tus brazos morenos
In your brown arms
Quiere vivir un romance mi alma bohemia
My bohemian soul wants to live a romance
Noche cubana, noche cubana
Cuban night, Cuban night
