Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amorosa guajira by Omara Portuondo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
En una verde campiña
In a green countryside
Donde crece en flor la piña
Where pineapple grows in bloom
Perfuman las flores
Perfume flowers
Y arrulla un palmar
And a palm grove cooing
Mirando el cielo azulado
Looking at the blue sky
Un guajiro enamorado
A guajiro in love
Sus penas de amores
Their sorrows of love
Se puso a cantar
He started singing
Ay ven, amorosa guajira
Oh come, loving guajira
Que ya nada me inspira
That nothing inspires me anymore
Ni el canto del ave
Nor the song of the bird
Que surca el azul
That sails the blue
Ay ven a alegrar mi bohío
Oh come and cheer my hut
Que hasta el lecho del río
That to the riverbed
Se ha vuelto a sombrío
It's gone bleak again
Porque faltas tú
Because you are missing
Ven, que mi blanca casita
Come, that my little white house
Se ha quedado solita
She has been left alone
Y al verla tan triste
And seeing her so sad
Me causa dolor
It causes me pain
Ay ven que la tarde se muere
Oh they see that the afternoon dies
Y mi alma no quiere
And my soul doesn't want
Preciosa guajira, vivir sin tu amor
Beautiful guajira, live without your love
Sin tu amor
Without your love
