This week’s song is “GUANTANAMERA”.

Guan-ta-na-mer-a, Gua-ji-ra Guan-ta-na-me-ra,

Guan-ta-na-mer-a, Gua-ji-ra Guan-ta-na-mer-a.

Yo soy un hom-bre sin-ce-ro, de don-de cre-ce la pal-ma,

Yo soy un hom-bre sin-ce-ro, de donde cre-ce la pal-ma,

Yan-tes de mo-rir-me quie-ro, e-char mis ver-sos del al-ma.

Guan-ta-na-mer-a, gua-jira Guan-ta-na-mer-a,

Guan-ta-na-mer-ra, gua-ji-ra Guan-ta-na-mer-a.

English translation:

(LADY OF GUANTANAMO)

I’m just a man who is trying,

To do some good before dying,

To ask each man and his brother-

To bear no ill toward each other.

This life will never be hollow-

To those who listen and follow.

Guan-ta-na-me-ra, I care a lot for the lady!

My inspira-tion, Guan-ta-na-mo’s fair-est Lady.
