Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Buscando Guayaba by Ruben Blades from Spanish to English.
Me fui pa'l monte buscando guayaba
I went to the mountains looking for guava
Por la vereda del 8 y el 2
Along the path of 8 and 2
Y aunque encontré una casa dorada
And although I found a golden house
Esa guayaba no la hallaba yo
I couldn't find that guava
Mucho he viajado por todo el mundo
I have traveled a lot around the world
Y nunca, nunca pude encontrar
And never, never could I find
Una guayaba que me gustara
A guava that I liked
Y detuviera mi caminar
And would stop my walking
Y aunque encontré una casa dorada
And although I found a golden house
Esa guayaba no pude hallar
I couldn't find that guava
Buscando guayaba ando yo
