Lyrics
Yo soy de un pueblo pequeño
Al sur del cañaveral
A aquel que quiera le ense¤o
Mi corazon de coral
Entre la iglesia y el cura
Entre el sinsonte y el llano
Entre Pinar y Herradura
Yo siempre andaba a caballo
CORO:
Soy guajiro
(repeat 4X's)
La guardarralla me saca
Todos los dias a pasear
Tomando leche de vaca
Acabada de orde¤ar
Entre el parque y la glorieta
Entre el palmar y el bohio
Entre el buey y la carreta
Yo me ba¤aba en el rio
CORO:
Soy guajiro
(repeat 4X's)
Mi cuerpo huele a tabaco
Y mi alma sabe a cafe
Y mi bolsillo es tan flaco
Que de perfil no se ve
Entre el zunzun y el jilguero
El muerto y la funeraria
Y estando el 2 de febrero
El Dia de La Candelaria
CORO:
Soy guajiro
(repeat 4X's)
(ORCHESTRA)

GUIA:
Soy guajiro
— En la campiña me inspiro
Soy guajiro
— Oh, oh ponte el collar Clodomiro
Soy guajiro
— Yo toco tres, yo toco maraca y guiro
Soy guajiro
Lyrics translation
I'm from a small town
South of the Canaveral
To anyone who wants to be taught
My coral heart
Between the church and the priest
Between the Sinson and the plain
Between Pinar and Horseshoe
I always rode horses.
CHOIR:
I'm guajiro
(repeat 4X's)
The cloakroom takes me out
Every day to walk
Drinking cow's milk
Finished order
Between the park and the gazebo
Between the palmar and the bohio
Between the Ox and the wagon
I bathe in the river
CHOIR:
I'm guajiro
(repeat 4X's)
My body smells like tobacco
And my soul tastes like coffee
And my pocket is so skinny
That profile is not seen
Between the zunzun and The Goldfinch
The dead and the funeral home
And being on February 2nd
The day of the Candelaria
CHOIR:
I'm guajiro
(repeat 4X's)
(ORCHESTRA)
CHOIR +
GUIDANCE:
I'm guajiro
- In the countryside I get inspired
I'm guajiro
- Oh, oh put on the Clodomiro necklace
I'm guajiro
- I play three, I play maraca and guiro
I'm guajiro
