Celia Cruz - Gauntanamera
Estribillo: Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crece la palma
Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crece la palma
Y antes de morir yo quiero cantar mis versos del alma Estribillo: Cultivo una rosa blanca, en julio como en enero
Cultivo una rosa blanca, en julio como en eneroCelia Cruz - Gauntanamera - http://motolyrics.com/celia-cruz/gauntanamera-lyrics-english-translation.html
Para el amigo sincero, que me da su mano franca
Estribillo (dos veces) Mi verso es de un verde claro, y de un carm�n encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro, y de un carm�n encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo herido, que busca en el monte amparo Estribillo (dos veces)
Celia Cruz - Guantanamera (English translation)
Chorus:
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera *
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera
I am a truthful man; I come from where the palm tree grows,
I am a truehearted man, who comes from where the palm trees grow,
Before I lay down my life, I long to coin the verses of my soul
Chorus
I plant a snowy rose in January and July,Celia Cruz - Gauntanamera - http://motolyrics.com/celia-cruz/gauntanamera-lyrics-english-translation.html
I grow a snowy rose in January and July,
For the open-hearted friend who puts a helping hand in mine
Chorus
The words that I write are radiant crimson and emerald bright,
The poems that I write are radiant crimson and emerald bright,
My verses are a wounded deer seeking shelter in the mountain height.
Chorus
*NOTE: "Guantanamera" i.e. From Guantánamo, Cuba - a woman (or an aire); and "guajira," i.e. a peasant girl (or perhaps the name of a dance.) Influenced, in part, by the Sandpipers' 1966 version.
