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 morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
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
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
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
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

Just adding something here. This about the phrase "Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera". Guantanamo is one of the provinces in Cuba, so "Guantanamera" actually means, "a girl from Guantanamo". Now, the word "guajira/guajiro" refers to someone who works in the fields, someone who works in a farm.

We will have to ask the guy who put it to music! Also, the poem sounds sooooo much better in Spanish. It really loses it's beauty and meaning when translated.
