About Guantanamera

"Guantanamera" (Spanish: "from Guantánamo, feminine" indicating a woman from Guantánamo) is perhaps the best known Cuban song and that country's most noted patriotic song, especially when using a poem by the Cuban poet José Martí for the lyrics. The official writing credits have been given to Joseíto Fernández, who first popularized the song on radio as early as 1929 (although it is unclear when the first release as a record occurred). In 1966, a version by American vocal group the Sandpipers, based on an arrangement by the Weavers from their May 1963 Carnegie Hall Reunion concert, became an international hit. It has been recorded by many other solo artists, notably by Willy Chirino, Julio Iglesias, Joan Baez, Albita, Jimmy Buffett, Celia Cruz, Bobby Darin, Raul Malo, Joe Dassin, Muslim Magomayev, José Feliciano, Biser Kirov, Wyclef Jean, Puerto Plata, Trini Lopez, La Lupe, Nana Mouskouri, Tito Puente, Andy Russell, Gloria Estefan, Pete Seeger, Robert Wyatt (under the title "Caimanera"), and by such groups as The Mavericks, Buena Vista Social Club, Los Lobos, and the Gipsy Kings. more »

Mi verso es un verde claro 
Y de un carmín 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 más que el mar

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera 
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera 
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera 
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
