|| **GUANTANAMERA** Original music by Jose Fernandez Diaz Music adaptation by Pete Seeger & Julian Orbon Lyric adaptation by Julian Orbon, based on a poem by Jose Marti Chorus: 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 Mi verso es de un verde claro Y de un carmin encendido Mi verso es de un verde claro Y de un carmin encendido Mi verso es un ciervo herido Que busca en el monte amparo The words mean, I am a truthful man from this land of 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 (red) My poems are like a wounded fawn Seeking refuge in the forest The last verse says”con los pobres de la tierra” With the poor people of this earth I want to share my fate The streams of the mountain Pleases me more than the sea 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 Once more, Repeat Chorus ©1963,1965 (Renewed) Fall River Music, Inc (BMI) All Rights Reserved. || ]] ||
