From Hell To Paradise Lyrics - Definitive Collection - The Mavericks

(Raul Malo) 

For thirty years they sang the 

song of promised victory 

But who they've fought and who has won 

Didn't matter much to me 

I see them driving down the streets 

In their fancy shiny cars 

Crowds of people to their feet 

Their faces full of scars 

No pleasantries, no luxuries 

No little children's milk 

While minister's wives spent 

all their lives 

In China's finest silk 

My back's been broken many times 

But my spirit lingers on 

The day it comes my way on 

freedom's ship 

I will be gone

Chorus 

From hell to paradise 

I'll always pay the price 

From hell to paradise 

I'll always pay the price 

This ninety mile trip 

has taken thirty years to make 

They tried to keep 

forever what was never theirs to take 

I cursed and scratched the devil's hand 

As he stood in front of me 

One last drag from his big cigar 

And he finally set me free 

Repeat chorus twice 

Con ojos tiernos algun dia te mirare 

Con brases abiertos algun dia abrasare 

Hay mi Havana cuando pueda regresare
