Guantanamaera ~ Marti

Guantanamera

I am a truthful man
From where the palm tree grows
And before dying I want
To set free the poetry in my soul

My verse is light green
And it is flaming red
My verse is a wounded stag
Who seeks refuge on the mountain

I grow a white rose
In July just as in January
For the honest friend
Who gives me his open hand

With the poor people of the earth
I want to cast my lot
The brook of the mountains
Gives me more pleasure than the sea

~ Jose Marti
