Guantanamera [English translation]

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

I am a sincere man

From where the palm grows

And before dying I want

To release my verses from my soul

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

Don't put me in the dark

To die like a traitor

I am good and like a good man

I'll die with my face in the sunlight

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

With the poor people of the earth

I want to place my luck

The stream of the mountain ranges

Pleases me more than the sea

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

The leopard has a shelter

In his dry and brown mountain

I have more than the leopard

Because I have a good friend

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
