Cuban Folk Song: Guantanamera


I was asked for the lyrics to that great Cuban Folk song "Guantanamera" Here they are:
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 morir yo quieroechar mis versos del alma.
Guantanamera ....
Mi verso es de un verde claro Y de un carmín encendido.
Mi verso es de un verde claroY de un carmín encendido.
Mi verso es un ciervo herido Que busca en el monte amparo.
Guantanamera ....
Por los pobres de la tierraQuiero yo mi suerte echar
Por los pobres de la tierraQuiero yo mi suerte echar
Y el arroyo de la sierra Me complace más que el mar
Guantanamera ....
