Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Yo soy un hombre sincero
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Cultivo una rosa blanca
En julio como en enero
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca
Y para el cruel que me arranca
El corazón con que vivo
Cardo ni oruga cultivo
Cultivo una rosa blanca
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
Yo sé de un pesar profundo
Entre las penas sin nombre
La esclavitud de los hombres
Es la gran pena del mundo
Yo sé de un pesar profundo
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
No me pongas en el oscuro
A morir como un traidor
(Óyelo bien, rumbero)
Yo soy bueno, y como bueno
Moriré de cara al Sol!
(¡Te lo digo yo!)
En la campiña lejana
En una calle cualquiera
En el monte, en el llano
En una esquina habanera
Te entrego mi inspiración
Grande como una bravera
Tú que escuchas mi canción
Sing with me Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
(Guantanamera)
