Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crecen las palmas
Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crecen las palmas
Y antes de morirme quiero echar mis versos del alma
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Con los pobres de la tierra quiero yo mi suerte echar
Con los pobres de la tierra quiero yo mi suerte echar
El arroyo de la sierra me complace mas que el mar
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Josรฉ Martรญ of Cuba was born in Cuba in 1853
At the age of 17, he was exiled
And spent most of his life away from his home
When he was 42 he finally returned to Cuba
And within a year he was killed in an aborted uprising
And this is one of his last poems
I am a truthful man
And before dying I want to share these poems of my soul
My verses are light green
But also flaming crimson
My verses are like a wounded fawn seeking refuge
With the poor people of this earth
I want to share my faith
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
