Por qué negar tu cuna campesino
Why deny your peasant birth
Tu cuna de guano y aspereza
Your cradle of guano and harshness
Tu cuna de sol y de maleza
Your cradle of sun and weeds
¿Tu cuna de andar por el camino?
Your cradle of walking along the road?
Por qué negar tu piel y ese cantío
Why deny your skin and that song
De gallos cantautores en tu fiesta
Of singing roosters at your party
Matinal, junto a esa orquesta
Morning, with that orchestra
¿De monte, manantial y río?
Of mountain, spring and river?
Y es que tengo el corazón
And I have the heart
Hecho de tierra y semilla
Made from soil and seed
Y es que se la maravilla
And it's amazing
De estrechar tu mano de noble sudor
To shake your hand of noble sweat
Y es que puedo alzar la voz
And I can raise my voice
Y cantarle a lo que admiras
And sing to what you admire
A esta música guajira
To this guajira music
Como mi guitarra, mi garganta y yo
Like my guitar, my throat and me
Y es que tengo el corazón
And I have the heart
Y no importa que haya gente
And it doesn't matter that there are people
Que desprecie nuestro nido
Let him despise our nest
Si el sol sale repartido
If the sun rises distributed
Para todos igualmente

Mientras que el sinsonte intente
While the mockingbird tries
Competir con nuestra lira

Que importa alguna mentira

Negando nuestra virtud

Siempre que exista un laúd
As long as there is a lute
Habrá música guajira

Y es que tengo el corazón
