Guantanamera, I'm a Guantanamerican
I'm being held prisoner
By the Yankee dawgs
My life's a wreck
But what the heck
I'm a Guantanamerican stuck in Guantanamo Prison
And life keeps dragging on.

Guantanamera

I am a truthful man,
From the land of the palm.
Before dying, I want to
Share these poems of my soul.

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

My verses are light green,
But they are also flaming red.
My verses are like a wounded fawn,
Seeking refuge in the mountain.

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

I cultivate a white rose
In June and in January
For the sincere friend
Who gives me his hand.

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

And for the cruel one who would tear out
This heart with which I live.
I cultivate neither thistles nor nettles
I cultivate a white rose.

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

I know about a fatal evil
Among the unspeakable shames:
The enslavement of human beings
Is the great shame of the world!

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

With the poor people of this earth,
I want to share my lot.
With the poor people of this earth,
I want to share my lot.
The little streams of the mountains
Please me more than the sea.

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera

what wharphy said.

i sent that to my other friend jack three months ago... same version you just shared.
it made me think of cucurucucu paloma and i never knew the full english translation
of that one either. so i searched youtube and found this by martin h. gonzales and sent
it to him too.
