[Verse 1]
I am a truthful man
From where the palms grow
I am a truthful man
From where the palms grow
Before I die, I want to
Share the verses of my soul

[Chorus]
Girl from Guantánamo, peasant girl from Guantánamo
Girl from Guantánamo, peasant girl from Guantánamo
Girl from Guantánamo, peasant girl from Guantánamo
Girl from Guantánamo, peasant girl from Guantánamo

I grow a white rose
In June just like in January
I grow a very white little rose
In June just like in January
For the honest friend
Who gives me his frank hand

Girl from Guantánamo, peasant girl from Guantánamo
Girl from Guantánamo, peasant girl from Guantánamo
Girl from Guantánamo, peasant girl from Guantánamo
