Guantanamera

Yo soy un hombre sinceroDe donde crecen las palmasYo soy un hombre sinceroDe donde crecen las palmasY antes de morirme quieroEchar mis versos del alma

Coro:GuantanameraGuajira GuantanameraGuantanameraGuajira Guantanamera

Mi verso es de un verde claroY de un carmín encendidoMi verso es de un verde claroY de un carmín encendidoMi verso es un ciervo heridoQue busca en el monte amparo

Coro

Cultivo la rosa blancaEn junio como en eneroCultivo la rosa blancaEn junio como en eneroPara el amigo sinceroQue me da su mano franca

Coro

Y para el cruel que me arrancaEl corazón con que vivoY para el cruel que me arrancaEl corazón con que vivoCardo ni ortiga cultivoCultivo la rosa blanca

Coro

Con los pobres de la tierraQuiero yo mi suerte echarCon los pobres de la tierraQuiero yo mi suerte echarEl arroyo de la sierraMe complace mas que el mar

Guantanamera

I'm an honest manFrom where the palm trees growI'm an honest manFrom where the palm trees growAnd before I die I wantto let my verses out of my soul

Chorus:GuantanameraGuajira Guantanamera*GuantanameraGuajira Guantanamera

My verse is clear greenAnd burning redMy verse is clear greenAnd burning redMy verse is a wounded deerThat seeks refuge in the mountain

Chorus

I cultivate a white roseIn June as in JanuaryI cultivate a white roseIn June as in JanuaryFor a true friendWho gives me his honest hand

Chorus

And for the cruel one that tears away from meThe heart with which I liveAnd for the cruel one that tears away from meThe heart with which I liveI cultivate neither thistles nor nettlesI cultivate the white rose

Chorus

With the poor people of the earthI want to make my destinyWith the poor people of the earthI want to make my destinyThe mountain streamPleases me more than the ocean

*Guajira is an expression referring to to a Cuban peasant girl; Guantanamera refers to a woman from Guantánamo
