Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crece la palma
I am a sincere man, from where the palm grows

Y antes de morirme, quiero cantar mis versos del alma
And before I die, I want to sing my verses from my soul

-------------------

Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

Cultivo una rosa blanca, en junio como en enero
I grow a white rose, in June as in January

Para el amigo sincero, que me da su mano franca
For the sincere friend, who gives me a hand honestly

-------------------

Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

Mi verso es de un verde claro, y de un carmín encendido
My verse is light green, and burning red

Mi verso es un ciervo herido, que busca en el monte amparo
My verse is an injured deer, who looks for shelter in the mountain

Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera
