Lyrics of Amorosa Guajira - Omara Portuondo

Amorosa Guajira (original)

En una verde campiña
Donde florece la piña
Perfuman las flores
Y arrulla un palmar
Mirando el cielo azulado
Un guajiro enamorado
Sus penas de amores
Se puso a cantar
Ven, amorosa guajira
Que ya nada me inspira
Ni el canto del ave
Que surca el azul
Ven a alegrar mi bohío
Que hasta el lecho del río
Se ha vuelto a sombrío
Porque faltas tú
Ven, que mi blanca casita
Se ha quedado solita
Y al verla tan triste
Me causa dolor
Ven porque el sol ya se muere
Y mi alma no quiere
Preciosa guajira, vivir sin tu amor
Ven, amorosa guajira
Que ya nada me inspira
Ni el canto del ave
Que surca el azul
Ven a alegrar mi bohío
Que hasta el lecho del río
Se ha vuelto a sombrío
Porque faltas tú
Ven, que mi blanca casita
Se ha quedado solita
Y al verla tan triste
Me causa dolor
Ven porque el sol ya se muere
Y mi alma no quiere
Preciosa guajira, vivir sin tu amor
Ven a mí

(translation)

In a green field
where the pineapple blooms
perfume the flowers
And lullaby a palm tree
looking at the blue sky
A guajiro in love
Your sorrows of love
she began to sing
Come, loving guajira
That nothing inspires me anymore
Not even the song of the bird
that crosses the blue
Come to cheer up my bohío
Than to the river bed
She has turned to gloomy
Why are you missing?
Come, my little white house
She has been left alone
And seeing her so sad
she causes me pain
Come because the sun is already dying
And my soul does not want
Beautiful guajira, live without your love
Come, loving guajira
That nothing inspires me anymore
Not even the song of the bird
that crosses the blue
Come to cheer up my bohío
Than to the river bed
She has turned to gloomy
Why are you missing?
Come, my little white house
She has been left alone
And seeing her so sad
it causes me pain
Come because the sun is already dying
And my soul does not want
Beautiful guajira, live without your love
Come to me
