Guajiro en la Habana

by Arturo Jorge y El Cuarteto Tradicion

Compay when I went to Havana

very long I felt the way,

and on arrival, from a rooftop

they shouted at me,

and on arrival, from a rooftop

I was shouted Palestinian.

  Hey, how's Guajiro in Havana?

Hey, how's Guajiro in Havana?

  Guajiro is Nelson Gudín

also guajiro is Maraca

and guajirito La Llave,

that in the performance stands out

and guajirito La Llave,

that in the performance stands out.

  Hey, how's Guajiro in Havana?

Eh ah how there is guajiro in Havana.

  He is a guajiro Lindoro

also Corporal Pantera,

and the beautiful Tonita,

is Guajira of Pinar del Río

and the beautiful Tonita,

is Guajira of Pinar del Río

This song is about a man from Rural life goes to the City Of Havana and everything looks rather starnge:

Hey, how's Guajiro in Havana?

  Guajiro Enrique Molina

and the fearsome Mentepollo,

and Guajiro is Antolin,

and Guajiro is Antolin
