Soy Guajiro
Willy Chirino
I'm a Countryman
VERSE :
I am from a small town
south of the sugarcane field,
to anyone who wants I show
my heart of coral.
Between the church and the priest,
between the mockingbird and the plain,
between Pinar and Herradura
I was always on horseback.
CORO :
I'm a countryman
( repeat 4X's )
VERSE :
The guardarralla takes me out
every day for a walk,
drinking fresh cow's milk
just milked,
between the park and the gazebo,
between the palm grove and the hut,
between the ox and the cart
I bathed in the river.
CORO :
I'm a countryman
( repeat 4X's )
VERSE :
My body smells like tobacco
and my soul tastes like coffee,
and my pocket is so thin
that you can't see it from the side,
between the hummingbird and the goldfinch,
the dead and the funeral home,
and being on February 2nd
the Day of La Candelaria.
CORO :
I'm a countryman
( repeat 4X's )

GUIDE :
I'm a countryman
- In the countryside I get inspired,
I'm a countryman.
- Oh, oh put on the collar Clodomiro,
I'm a countryman.
- I play three, I play maracas and guiro,
I'm a countryman.
