Translation of the song lyrics Guajira Guantanamera - Leon Gieco

Guajira Guantanamera (original)

Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Sale el hombre en loca gira
Sale a recorrer el mundo
Sin meditar un segundo
A que viene tal gran gira
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Despues que se ha enamorado
Quiza sin lograr fortuna
Piensa en su tierra y su cuna
En su pais adorado
Lo entristece lo alejado
Que sabe a su madre tierra (Guajira León)
Y aunque realmente se aferra
En ser feliz y luchar
Un nostalgico pensar
En su corazon encierra
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Seguro tiene momentos
Que hasta quisiera volar
Visitarla y regresar
Para bien de su tormento
Puesto que su sentimiento
Lo mide en la travesia (Guajira viejo León)
La gran honradez y hombria
Ambas virtudes muy grandes
De Joseito Fernandez
El rey de la melodia
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera

Guajira Guantanamera (translation)

Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
The man goes out on a crazy tour
He goes out to travel the world
Without meditating for a second
What is such a great tour coming to?
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
After she has fallen in love
Perhaps without achieving fortune
Think of his land and his cradle
In your beloved country
He is saddened by what is far away
That tastes like his mother earth (Guajira León)
And though it really holds on
In being happy and fighting
a nostalgic think
In his heart he contains
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
sure have moments
That I even wanted to fly
Visit and return
For the sake of your torment
Since your feeling
He measures it in the crossing (Guajira old León)
The great honesty and manliness
Both very great virtues
By Joseito Fernandez
The king of melody
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
