The Sandpipers - Guantanamera

Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera

Guajira Guantanamera

Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma

Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera

Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es un cielo querido
Que busca en el monte amparo

The words mean "I am a truthful man from the land of the palm trees
And before dying, I want to share these poems of my soul
My poems are soft green
My poems are also flaming crimson (con los pobres de la tierra)
My poems are like a wounded fawn (quiero yo mi suerte echar)
Seeking refuge in the forest"

The last verse says, "Con los pobres de la tierra"
"With the poor people of this earth (quiero yo mi suerte echar)
I want to share my fate
The streams of the mountains
Please me more than the sea" (el arroyo de la sierra)
(Me complace más que el mar)
