*Song from Cuba: Guantanamera*

*Yo soy un hombre sincero*

*De donde crece la palma*

*Y antes de morirme quiero*

*Echar mis versos del alma*

*Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera*

*Mi verso es de un verde claro*

*Y de un carmi­n encendido*

*Mi verso es un ciervo herido*

*Que busca en el monte amparo*

*Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera*

*Cultivo una rosa blanca*

*En julio como en enero*

*Para el amigo sincero*

*Que me da su mano franca*

*Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera*

*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*

*I am an honest man*

*Where does the palm grow from?*

*And before I die I want*

*Cast my soul verses*

*Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera*

*My verse is light green*

*And a burning carmine*

*My verse is a wounded deer*

*What are you looking for in Mount Amparo*

*Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera*

*Cultivate a white rose*

*In July as in January*

*For the honest friend*

*That gives me his frank hand*

*Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera*

*With the poor of the earth*

*I want my luck to cast*

*The streams of the mountains*

*I am more pleased than the sea*

*Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera*
