Guantanamera Song Lyrics / Translation 3:37
Joseito Fernandez, Jose Marti, Julian Orbon, Pete Seeger
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera / country girl from Guantánamo
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera / country girl from Guantánamo

Yo soy un hombre sincero / I am an honest man
De donde crece la palma, / From the land where the palm tree grows
Y antes de morirme quiero / And before I die I want to
Echar mis versos del alma / Share these poems from my soul

Mi verso es de un verde claro / My verse is light green,
Y de un carmín encendido /And also flaming red
Mi verso es un ciervo herido / My verse is like a wounded fawn
Que busca en el monte amparo / That seeks refuge in the mountain

Cultivo una rosa blanca / I grow a white rose
En julio como enero / In July as in January
Para el amigo sincero / for the sincere friend
Que me da su mano franca / that gives me his honest hand
