El Guayabero

Brunette of the soul
Don't deny me your love
Brunette of the soul
Give me your heart

Never think, my love
That I can forget you
Never think, my love
That I can forget you

The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
The guayabero, you see
(They want)
Oh guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
How slowly, baby
(They want)
Oh guachupita mama

The woman in love
Is like the guanaja
The woman in love
Is like the guanaja
That when she doesn't have a husband
Goes out to pleasure herself

The guayabero mama
(They want to give me)
How slowly, baby
(They want)
Oh guachupita mama
(They want to give me)
The guayabero, you see

My wife got sick
From the heart in Havana
And the doctor in the morning
Came and recognized her

He took off her dress
Blouse, skirt, and slip
And when I saw this mess
This doesn't suit me

Because my wife doesn't have
Her heart so low
Because my wife doesn't have
Her heart so low

The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
The guayabero, baby
(They want)
How slowly, mama
(They want to give me)
Guayabero

Chávez went sailing
With his wife Dominga
And the ship stopped
At the port of Mandinga

The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
Oh slowly, you see
(They want)
The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
Oh guachupita baby

Clara's daughter had a fight
With Dominga's cousin
And since she was lighter
She kicked her in the face

The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
The guayabero, you see
(They want)
Oh slowly, mama
(They want to give me)
Guayabero

The next day a farmer
Entered a tavern in a hurry
And asked for lunch
Ten plates of cod
He ate a roasted pig
With thirty balls of cheese

When he was satisfied
He bent down in the garden
And when he stood up
He touched her with a thousand pesos
And when he stood up
He touched her with a thousand pesos

The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
The guayabero, baby
(They want)
How slowly, mama
(They want to give me)
Oh guayabero, you see

And a horse is a mount
And a mare is a trot
If the mare is careless
The horse moves forward

The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
How slowly, you see
(They want)
(Epa!)

(I bring salmon to eat)
(Eh)
(Epa!, and that one goes!)

Oh guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
How slowly, baby
(They want)
Oh guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
The guayabero, you see

The women of Guamuta
Are pretty, they form a group
Lots of dust and blush
And they don't wash their faces

Oh guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
How slowly, baby
(They want)
Oh guachupita mama
(They want to give me)
Guayabero

The next day my wife
Told me very distressed
That to make me dinner
She had no firewood

She said a thousand nonsense
Don't be so lazy
Bring me firewood or coal
Don't be mean to me

And then I threw three sticks
Of firewood into the hearth
And then I threw three sticks
Of firewood into the hearth

The guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
How slowly, you see
(They want)
Oh guayabero, mama
(They want to give me)
Ehh Belén
(They want)
Eh, eh, eh
(They want)
Eh, eh, eh
(They want)
Shake it
(They want)
