Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez
Born in Guantanamo on a public patio in the shade
Orphaned at one by the will of a gun betrayed
You turned thirteen started huffing gasoline to shake these terrestrial ways
Hoping on a hurricane to haul you to Hemingway
Where you could be a revolutionary
A planetary missionary
You just got to defect from effects counter-revelutionary
In '59 hitchhiked 809 kilometers
Achin' for space
An undiscovered place in the ether
Havana bound drawn by audio sound from the rebel radio
You enroll in school cause college is cool
You aviation dynamo
Yeah, you could be a revolutionary
A planetary missionary
When your soul's in the sky you fly
Tu son Havana Huckleberry
Arnaldo
Arnaldo
Moscow made out Mendez
Forced him to the Air Academy

Stardust speaking softly to him and his Mig-15
You dig that starsheen
But MiG's renege in time
That's one glum chum
Space sick and home dumb
With that earth adaption syndrome
Cause when you've had a taste
The dragon gets chased 'till you're free to roam
USSR gave you a gold star and a shot at goin' pro
So ready or not
You're a Cuban Cosmonaut
Blasting to the Inner Cosmos
Now you are a revolutionary
A planetary missionary
The first black in space
Arnaldo, the ace
Now you know his history
Arnaldo
Arnaldo
Arnaldo
