The good ship Granma lies at anchor in the harbour
Waiting for the evening tide
To rise and bring high water
Bound for Cuba she must go
Across the Gulf of Mexico
And The Caribbean Ocean
She's carrying a human cargo 83 good companeros
Each one burning with determination to be free
Against Batista, The Fidelistas
Courage was their armour
As they fought at Fidel's side
With Che Guevara
Five days out from Mexico these Companeros
Landed on the Cuban beach Los Colarados
Fidel said this year will see
Our country and our people free
Or else we will be martyrs
We've only guns enough for twenty
The enemy has arms a plenty
Meet him and defeat him and he'll keep us well supplied
Against Batista, The Fidelistas
Courage was their armour
As they fought at Fidel's side
With Che Guevara
