|
Guantanamera, ma ville, Guantanamera
|
|
Guantanamera, ma ville, Guantanamera
|
|
C'tait un homme en deroute
|
|
C'tait un frere sans doute
|
|
Il n'avait ni liens, ni place
|
|
Et sur les routes de l'exil
|
|
Sur les sentiers, sur les places
|
|
Il me parlait de sa ville
|
|
Guantanamera, ma ville, Guantanamera
|
|
Guantanamera, ma ville, 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 carm'n encendido
|
|
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
|
|
Que busca en el monte amparo
|
|
Por los pobres de la tierra
|
|
Quiero yo mi suerte echar
|
|
Y el arroyo de la sierra
|
|
Me complace ms que el mar
|
|
Guantanamera, ma ville, Guantanamera
|
|
Guantanamera, ma ville, Guantanamera
|
|
Il me reste toute la terre
|
|
Mais je n'en demandais pas autant
|
|
Quand j'ai passe la frontire
|
|
Il n'y avait plus rien devant
|
|
J'allais d'escale en escale
|
|
Loin de ma terre natale
|
|
Guantanamera, ma ville, Guantanamera
|
|
Guantanamera, ma ville, Guantanamera
|
|
--- original version---
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera.
|
|
Yo soy un hombre sincero,
|
|
De don de crece la palma,
|
|
Yo soy un hombre sincero,
|
|
De don de crece la palma,
|
|
Yantes des morirme guiero,
|
|
Echar mis versos del alma,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera.
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera.
|
|
I'm just a man who is trying
|
|
To do some good before dying,
|
|
To ask each man and his brother,
|
|
To bear no ill toward each other.
|
|
This life will never be hollow,
|
|
To those who listen and follow.
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.
|
|
I write my rhymes with no learning,
|
|
And yet with truth they are burning,
|
|
But is the world waiting for them?
|
|
Or will they all just ignore them?
|
|
Have I a poet's illusion,
|
|
A dream to die in seclusion?
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira; guantanamera,
|
|
A little brook on a mountain,
|
|
The cooling spray of a fountain,
|
|
Arouse in me an emotion,
|
|
More than the vast boundless ocean,
|
|
For there's a wealth beyond measure,
|
|
In little things that we treasure,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
|
|
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.
