Guantanamera
[Chorus]
Guantanamera
Guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamrera
Guajira, guantanamera
[Verse 1]
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Y antes de morirme, quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
[Chorus]
Guantanamera
Guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamrera
Guajira, guantanamera
[Verse 2]
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es de un ciervo herido
Que busca el monte amparo
[Chorus]
Guantanamera
Guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamrera
Guajira, guantanamera
[Spoken Word - Gerry Marsden]
In English, these words mean:
"I am a truthful man
From the land of palm trees
Before dying
I want to share these palms of my soul
My poems are of many kinds
Some are green, some are crimson
My verses are like a wounded form
Seeking refuge in the forest
For the poor people of this earth
I want to share my fate
The little streams of the mountains
Please me more than the sea"
[Outro]
Guantanamera
Guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamrera
Guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamrera
Guajira, guantanamera
