Lyrics to Guantanamera
Lyrics to Guantanamera as recorde by Phil Manzanera,
Featuring Ana Maria Valez on vocals
Yo soy un mujer sincero
De donde crece
Yo soy un mujer sincero
De donde crece
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un Jasmin encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un Jasmin encendido
Mi verso es de un ciervo herido
Que busca en
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Yo he visto morir a un hombre
Con el punal acostado
Yo he visto morir a un hombre
Con el punal acostado
Sin decir jama el nombre
De aquella que lo ha matado
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera
Guantanamera
