The transcript translated to English:

Hey guys, how's it going? My name is Nayi, Mora, I am a Cubana that lives in Brazil and I am saying hello one more time on my channel.

Once again to today's video channel, I want to share my story with you about what it was like to get out of Cuba.

And so, because I wanted to come to tell you this, because, you have asked me a lot, a lot, here on YouTube, on Instagram and all accounts. You asked me to tell you how I achieved it. How did you get out of Cuba today? Friends of mine, you will know how I managed to get out of that hell, that extreme misery. So, friends, I came to Brazil in the year 2018. In order to get out of Cuba, the first thing we had to do was sell EVERYTHING.

Everything, everything, everything, anything we saw that we were not going to use or we were not going to bring. we managed to sell everything,

I did not want to tell many people that I was going to go to Brazil. I told, I think, only three friends of mine who were very close to me, but I didn't want to tell teachers, I didn't want to tell a lot of people at school because a lot of people will try to discourage, people talking to you, look, why are you trying to go away.

The best country in the world is Cuba. I do not know what, do not know that they teach students to trust in the revolution, to give thanks to Fidel Castro, This indoctrination, I don’t want this to happen to me, right?

I had a lot of my friends who had, calm lives before me and this happened, and I said, I'm not going, I'm not going to tell anyone, I'm not going to get anything out of it. I'm only going to tell three friends of mine. You become attached and you're done, you don't tell anyone. It was sad to say goodbye to family, home, culture, friends.

Of everything you have there, but.

I didn't want to be there my whole life. I felt that in Cuba I had no future, that I wasn't going to do anything.

I saw how people graduated from medicine or other specialty. I was talking, wow, really, so much work for nothing.

So much work to have extreme misery. The decision was made because I know things went from bad to worse in clubs every day you found less food. Every day you had more headaches.

Finding medication, finding ice-cream or getting intimate, finding everything we, anything, it was a lot of work.

For you to achieve color, it's extreme misery, everything is little bit of some time you talk, no, I don't want more, I don't want it anymore.

Then you can't protest, you can't say anything, you can't open your mouth, you have to speak lowly, that's what makes the Cuban people angry and something of those difficult moments. I had to go from the city where I lived, in Cuba, in the East of the country, to Havana.

I want the capital of Cuba and was in the west a distance of 744 km, an extremely long distance, right? Cuba does not have transport, there is the fact that you transport. It is very difficult and for you to transport from 1 day to another without planning anything, you have to go out to streets with a lot of money on hand, having to stay 5 or 6 hours in the street to catch a ride or hitchhike. If you were to tell who?

Did you have to pick it up?

yes, and I'm going to take you, okay? But it's a lot of work. You can stay up to 5 to 6 hours on the street. It's waiting for the client. Collection. That's the most practical way for all Cubans. Practically I've never traveled almost on national buses, because so national buses in Cuba must be reserved 5 or 6 months before you are guaranteed a ticket and if there was a seat. When I got to the Havana I had to go to an aunt's house to stay there.

A few desperate days, desperate, crazy to leave.

And already when you're close to leaving, I've never ridden a plane either. Then you get into a depression like that, because you already want to leave and you don't have anything there, so yes, I just wanted to leave, I was wondering what it was like to stay out of Cuba.

The day has come to leave. I'm going from Havana to Guyana in Georgetown, in the capital of Guyana. It went very well for my brother and my mother. For me it was horrible, terrible. Spent.

Everything, everything goes on vomiting. I think I'm going to have it five or six times, I swear. yes, I think it was the stress. I was nervous, it was horrible. When I arrived in Georgetown, I didn't want to eat anything. Tom, We were in Georgetown for 5 or 6 days, horrible, guys, first in, folks, for God's sake, I don't want you to see the traffic there, everybody walks like crazy on the street, seriously, seriously, Lots of people consuming on drugs, you know?

And there it is, don't you want everyone to the whole street and like, back in Georgetown? It's very, very, very, very hot.

You left for 10 minutes, then you come back with a mark, it's the clothes, it happened to me. I dream of having Coke for the first time.

Then when I put everything marked here, as soon as a few days passed in order, we went from 8 to Lethem that a city that is the Border, I say Jana to Brazil, some hours that we stayed there is, seemed to work it out there, people, I was very worried because it was coming.

But if you worry actions the headache, the hunger.

I stress and mission was crossing the bridge that divides some already in Brazil.

Running fast, and yes the police have, because in case the police are, you were going to be caught weight or deported to Cuba, so if he didn't want it, we were very few steps away from Brazil, guys, I ran too much, okay?

I don't even remember how I ran and how I got hurt they were huge, but that was huge. Then you had to climb a huge ladder to cross the bridge.

I remember how I knew this scale so fast is, and I with a backpack brings on my back a heavy backpack, because I only brought him a backpack, eat things to Brazil.

If I brought all my stuff in that backpack, it was too heavy, see? And my mother, my brother and I running on that huge bridge with the heavy backpacks.

My mom's asthmatic, chronic of those people who can't run because she needs an inhaler, who can suffocate because she needs an inhaler.

So, more was in need of mine at the time and you can't stop in the middle of the bridge, understand? And it was horrible. When I looked like this, my mom, my mom was very asthmatic very, very desperate for the inhaler and she didn’t even know where she had put.. So, it was a moment of depression.

They're crazy, but we got there, arrived.

World, I'm there in the middle of the bridge. I'm going to show you a picture here of the bridge, see us a giant bridge in front of the detail I'm saying is that my father came a month before us and I'm not even going to talk about it because the poor guy went through more work than we did.

So when we crossed the bridge, we went straight to the federal police, where there were about 10 of their people.

1415 people in front of normally, we weren't the only ones who did this madness is and this madness that we did is small in front of other things that Cubans do to go away. There are more dangerous things, there are more snare things.

It's not that, Cuba doesn't give a. Just what? Although we reserve the stamp of the federal police and everything went well folks, thank God EE at that moment I looked so, not my around, I said, I'm not getting anymore, how did we just do?

And today, I.

I remember that moment i had thought that i, that I had done, was crazy and I think so.

It was the best decision I've made in my entire life. If I hadn't come to Brazil, I wouldn't be doing what I like and today I'm grateful for all that God gave me.

Being in a country of such wonderful opportunities, you just have to work, buddy is the food to money, it doesn't fall from the CEU that I think many people are from the Border.

We went in a taxi to Boa Vista. We stayed one day and the other day at night we came on the bus. It's at night and, say, 7, 30 in the morning in Manaus, which was my old city. I don't know that I moved and.

No, I can't even ride on how I was when I saw so many cars and when I saw that town full of ours, so much, isn't it?

And look what Manaus is a small city is this developed, is not it? Compared to other cities in Brazil. And I was tied first for the amount of food I saw in the markets, on the street.

The bags to the strawberries, according to the contractions, it's not. Beautiful, even I gave a video telling how was my arrest of Brazil.

Actually, it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. In fact, I was already physically prepared, mentally, that in the early days in Brazil it wasn't going to be easy, okay?

No, everything is beautiful, so I got ready, I worked my ass off, okay? I worked my ass off for a salary, huh?

It was a salary i gave.

Today I have all my documents right, okay? That was something we came for, not least because Brazil is kind of the document.

For foreigners, you will never be illegal in Brazil. Like, I'm cool, huh? I have everything, the SSN, work card, RN, m, everything, everything, everything. So I'm practically a Cuban Brazilian.

No, no, but.

I'm very grateful. Seriously, so that was it, guys, today's video. I very much hope that you have enjoyed the content still took 3 years and even the family is.

It's one thing.

These before more. Over time, you kind of get used to it, but when I.

I remember, I stay.

Stressed out and we're here to sort this out here.

Instagram and Facebook. I've already opened my Facebook page, so I'm going to put in different videos. It's something I usually put here on the canal and I'm going to pass away and I'm going to do a lot of cool stuff over there.
