Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
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 carmín encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
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 the poems of my soul

My verses are soft green
My poems are also flaming 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
