Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Sitiera by Omara Portuondo from Spanish to English.
Dime qué has hecho
Tell me what you have done
De nuestro dulce hogar
To our sweet home
Cuna que un día
Cradle that one day
Fue la alegría
Was the joy
De todo aquel sitial
Of every seat
Lágrimas vierte la sitiería
Tears shed by the homeland
Que tiende a desolar
That tends to desolate
Y es por no verte
And it's because of not seeing you
Reina, que un día
Queen, that one day
Fuiste de aquel lugar
You were from that place
Ya el jilguero se alejó
Now the goldfinch has left
De aquel frondoso algarrobo
From that leafy carob tree
Y hasta la mata de jobo
And even the jobo bush
Nos da muestra de dolor
Shows us its pain
La sitiera se ha marcado
The homeland has been marked
Y yo enamorado lloro por su amor
And I, in love, cry for her love
Y es para la sitiería
And it's for the homeland
Cual si fuera un día
As if one day
Que le falta el sol
It lacks the sun
Ven sitiera por favor
Come, homeland, please
Ven de nuevo a mi retiro
Come back to my retreat
Y gozaremos de amor
And we will enjoy love
Al son del timple y el güiro
To the sound of the timple and the güiro
Ven sitiera por favor
Come, homeland, please
Ven de nuevo a mi retiro
Come back to my retreat
Y gozaremos de amor
And we will enjoy love
Al son del timple y del güiro
To the sound of the timple and the güiro
Ven sitiera por favor
Come, homeland, please
Ven de nuevo a mi retiro
Come back to my retreat
Y gozaremos de amor
And we will enjoy love
Al son del timple y del güiro
To the sound of the timple and the güiro
