The mission of Eastfield College is to provide excellence in teaching and learning.
Pearl of the sea! Star to the West
Beautiful Cuba. Your brilliant sky
The night covered with your opaque veil,
That covers the ache of my sad forehead.
I will depart with a diligent crew (slaves of a row gallery, rabble, mob)
And pull myself up by the roots from the native earth, (Hauling up the sail – set sail)
And prompts you to change (alter)
The breeze of your ardent burning.
Goodbye! Depart happy. Eden (Paradise) I love you!
Wherever fate in your furor takes me.
Your sweet name will flatter me (tickle my ear) I will always remember you with pleasure.
Goodbye, already you rustle (lift) your lofty sail raise the anchor, the ship will rock with the waves that cut the silence a it takes flight
The waves cut and silent have flown
Se ve la senda (path) that has never been trampled (pisar)
They are only as the wake of a ship at sea.
The stirring of the water comes and passes as if they were never there. (nunca se ha de volver a pisar)
