Guantanamera, ma ville guantanamera
Guantanamera, my city will be a guantanamera
Guantanamera, ma ville guantanamera
Guantanamera, my city will be a guantanamera
C'était un homme en déroute
He was a man in a rout
C'était son frère sans doute
It was probably his brother
Il n'avait ni lieu, ni place
There was no place or place
Et sur les routes de l'exil
And on the roads of exile
Sur les sentiers, sur les places
On the trails, on the squares
Il s'en allait loin de sa ville
He was going far from his city
Guantanamera, ma ville guantanamera
Guantanamera, my city will be a guantanamera
Guantanamera, ma ville guantanamera
Guantanamera, my city will be a guantanamera
Là-bas sa maison de misère
There his house of misery
Était plus blanche que le coton
Was whiter than cotton
Les rues de sable et de terre
The streets of sand and earth
Sentaient le rhum et le melon
Smelled rum and melon
Sous leur jupon de dentelles
Under their lace petticoat
Dieu que les femmes étaient belles
God that women were beautiful
Guantanamera, ma ville guantanamera
Guantanamera, my city will be a guantanamera
Guantanamera, ma ville guantanamera
Guantanamera, my city will be a guantanamera
Il me reste toute la terre
I've got all the dirt left
Mais je n'en demandais pas tant
But I didn't ask for so much
Quand j'ai passé la frontière
When I crossed the border
Il n'y avait rien devant
There was nothing in front of
J'allais d'escale en escale
I was going from stopover to stopover
Loin de ma terre natale
Away from my homeland
