Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
C'était un homme en déroute
C'était un frère, sans doute
Il n'avait ni lieu, ni place
Et sur les routes de l'exil
Sur les sentiers, sur les places
Il me parlait de sa ville
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Y antes de morirme, quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
Que busca en el monte amparo
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
Il me reste toute la terre
Mais, je n'en demandais pas autant
Quand j'ai passé la frontière
Il n'y avait plus rien devant
J'allais d'escale en escale
Loin de ma terre natale
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
