Guantanamera Lyrics

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

(I am a sincere man Of where they grow Las Palmas(The Palms)I am a sinncere man Of where they grow Las Palmas and before I die, I want to throw the verses of my soul)

-Chorus-

Cultivo la rosa blanca
En junio como en enero (como enero)

Qultivo la rosa blanca
En junio como en enero (como enero)
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca

(Culture the white rose In June as in January (as January) Culture the white rose In June like in January (like January) For the sincere friend That gives his frank hand to me)

-Chorus- 2x


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

(My verse is of the greens, clear and with an ignited carmine My verse is of the greens, clear and with an ignited carmine My verse is about a wounded red deer That looks for a shelter in the mountains)

-Chorus-

Celia Cruz (born as Úrsula Hilaria Celia de la Caridad Cruz Alfonso in La Habana, Cuba on 21 October 1925 – died 16 July 2003) was a Cuban-American and was one of the most successful salsa performers of the 20th century, having earned twenty-three gold albums. She was renowned internationally as the "Queen of Salsa" as well as "La Guarachera de Cuba.

In 1950, Cruz made her first major breakthrough, after the lead singer of the La Sonora Matancera, a renowned Cuban orchestra, left the group and Cruz was called to fill in. Cruz was hired permanently by the orchestra, but she wasn't well accepted by the public at first. However, the orchestra stood by their decision, and soon Cruz became famous throughout Cuba. During the 15 years she was a member, the band traveled all over Latin America. Read more on Last.fm.
