Lyrics of Buscando Guayaba - Willie Colón, Rubén Blades

Buscando Guayaba (original)

Me fui pa’l monte buscando guayaba,
por la vereda del 8 y el 2
Y aunque encontre una casa dorada
esa guayaba no la hallaba yo.
Mucho he viajado por todo el mundo
Y nunca nunca pude encontrar
Una guayaba que me gustara
y detuviera mi caminar.
Y aunque encontre una casa dorada
Esa guayaba no pude hallar.
Buscando guayaba ando yo
¿Como?
Que tenga sabor que tenga mentol
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor que tenga mentol
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor que tenga mentol
Una guayaba salva morena
Una guayaba que este bien buena
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor que tenga mentol
U ru ru guarara donde va miguel
U ru ru guarara fue a buscar tambien Guayaba
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor que tenga mentol
Pero que tenga mucho mentol,
Pero que tenga, que tenga muchisimo sabor
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor que tenga mentol
Busca una guayaba, busca una guayaba, busca una guayaba
Porla vereda del 8 y el 2
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mentol
Que tenga sabor que tenga mentol
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Guayabita sabanera
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Aqui hay dos que yo quiero una guayaba
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Venga y dame una manito
Ay ayudeme comay
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Ya la veo que usted,
ya la Veo que usted no coje y no Dice donde hay
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Dime esa guayaba bonita Donde la encuentro, ay dios
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que que caminando siempre voy andando señor
Buscando guayaba ando yo
U ru ru guarara donde va miguel
Buscando guayaba ando yo

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Acompañame por que puede suceder
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que yo encuentre esa mujer y la aprenda aquerer
Buscando guayaba ando yo
La busco por el monte y por la marqueta
Buscando guayaba ando yo
No no no no te escondas mas y aparece prieta
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor y que tenga mentol
Buscando guayaba ando yo

(translation)

I went to the mountains looking for guava,
along the path of 8 and 2
And even if I found a golden house
I couldn't find that guava.
I have traveled a lot around the world
And I could never ever find
A guava that I liked
and stopped my walking.
And even if I found a golden house
I couldn't find that guava.
I'm looking for guava
What?
That has flavor that has menthol
I'm looking for guava
That has flavor that has menthol

A guava saves brown
A guava that is very good

But that it has, that it has a lot of flavor
