[English]

Hey

...

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy)

Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)

He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na, ah

Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)

There's somethin' 'bout his manners (uh-huh)

Havana, ooh-na-na (uh)

He didn't walk up with that "how you doin'?" (uh)

When he came in the room

He said there's a lot of girls I can do with (uh)

But I can't without you

I knew him forever in a minute (hey)

That summer night in June

And papa says he got malo in him (uh)

He got me feelin' like...

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ayy)

I knew it when I met him (ayy), I loved him when I left him

Got me feelin' like, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And then I had to tell him, I had to go

Oh-na-na-na-na-na (woo)

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)

Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)

He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na (uh huh)

Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)

My heart is in Havana (ayy)

Havana, ooh-na-na

Jeffery, just graduated, fresh on campus, mmm

Fresh out East Atlanta with no manners, damn (fresh out East Atlanta)

Bump on her bumper like a traffic jam

Hey, I was quick to pay that girl like Uncle Sam (here you go, ayy)

Back it on me (back it up)

Shawty cravin' on me, get to eatin' on me (on me)

She waited on me (then what?)

Shawty cakin' on me, got the bacon on me (wait up)

This is history in the makin', on me (on me)

Point blank, close range, that B

If it cost a million, that's me (that's me)

I was gettin' mula, baby

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)

Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (oh, ayy, ayy)

He took me back (uh huh) to East Atlanta, na-na-na (oh, no)

Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)

My heart is in Havana (ayy)

Havana, ooh-na-na

Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Take me back, back, back like...

Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, babe)

Take me back, back, back like...

Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, yeah)

Take me back, back, back like...

Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, babe)

Take me back, back, back

Hey, hey

...

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (hey)

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (hey)

...

Take me back to my Havana

Havana, ooh na-na (hey)

Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh na-na (oh, yeah)

...

He took me back to East Atlanta, (ayy, ayy) na-na-na

Oh, but my heart is in Havana

My heart is in Havana (ayy)

Havana, ooh-na-na

Uh-huh

Oh, na-na-na (oh, na, yeah)

Oh, na-na-na

Oh, na-na-na (no, no, no, take me back)

...

Oh, na-na-na

Havana, ooh-na-na
