«Guantanamera»
Song
Language	Spanish
Released	1929
Genre	Guajira-son
Composer(s)	Joseíto Fernández

«Guantanamera» ([ɡwantanaˈmeɾa]; Spanish: (the woman) from Guantánamo)^[1] is a Cuban patriotic song, which uses a poem by the Cuban poet José Martí for the lyrics. The official writing credits have been given to Joseíto Fernández, who first popularized the song on radio as early as 1929 (although it is unclear when the first release as a record occurred). In 1966, a version by American vocal group the Sandpipers, based on an arrangement by the Weavers from their May 1963 Carnegie Hall Reunion concert, became an international hit.

Lyrics[edit]

By José Martí[edit]

The better known «official» lyrics are based on selections from the poetry collection Versos Sencillos (Simple Verses) by Cuban poet and independence hero José Martí, as adapted by Julián Orbón.^[2] The four verses of the song were adapted from four stanzas of Versos Sencillos, each from a different poem. They are presented here in the original Spanish (poem:stanza).

I:1	V:3	XXXIX:1	III:2
Yo soy un hombre sincero De donde crece la palma, Y antes de morirme quiero Echar mis versos del alma.	Mi verso es de un verde claro Y de un carmín encendido: Mi verso es un ciervo herido Que busca en el monte amparo.	Cultivo una rosa blanca En julio como en enero, Para el amigo sincero Que me da su mano franca.	Con los pobres de la tierra Quiero yo mi suerte echar: El arroyo de la sierra Me complace más que el mar.

By Joseíto Fernández[edit]

Given the song’s musical structure, which fits A–B–A–B (sometimes A–B–B–A) octosyllabic verses, «Guantanamera» lent itself from the beginning to impromptu verses, improvised on the spot, similar to what happens with the Mexican folk song «La Bamba». Joseíto Fernández first used the tune to comment on daily events on his radio program by adapting the lyrics to the song’s melody, and then using the song to conclude his show. Through this use, «Guantanamera» became a popular vehicle for romantic, patriotic, humorous, or social commentary in Cuba and elsewhere in the Spanish-speaking world.

The lyrics often sung by Fernández^[3] are about a peasant woman or country girl from Guantánamo («guajira Guantanamera»),^[4] with whom he once had a romantic relationship, and who eventually left him. Fernández provided several explanations during his lifetime, including that she did not have a romantic interest in him, but merely a platonic one.

By other artists[edit]

Various other versions have combined lyrics based on the José Martí poem. Additional verses commonly sung are:

Y para el cruel que me arranca

el corazón con que vivo

cardo ni oruga cultivo

cultivo la rosa blanca.

Yo sé de un pesar profundo

entre las penas sin nombre:

la esclavitud de los hombres

es la gran pena del mundo.

No me pongan en lo oscuro

A morir como un traidor

Yo soy bueno y como bueno

Moriré de cara al sol^[5]

Music[edit]

The music for the song is sometimes also attributed to Joseíto Fernández,^[1][6] who claimed to have written it at various dates (consensus puts 1929 as its year of origin), and who used it regularly in one of his radio programs. Some^[who?] claim that the song’s structure actually came from Herminio «El Diablo» García Wilson, who could be credited as a co-composer. García’s heirs took the matter to court decades later, but lost the case; the People’s Supreme Court of Cuba credited Fernández as the sole composer of the music in 1993. Regardless of either claim, Fernández can safely be claimed as being the first to promote the song widely through his radio programs.^[7]

Recordings[edit]

Pete Seeger[edit]

Shortly after the Weavers’ Carnegie Hall reunion concert recording in May 1963, Pete Seeger included the song on his album We Shall Overcome, which was also performed live at Carnegie Hall. Seeger’s recording is described by Stewart Mason at Allmusic as the «definitive version» of the song.^[8][9]

The version of the song created by Martí and Orbón was used by Seeger as the basis of his reworked version, which he based on a performance of the song by Héctor Angulo. Seeger combined Martí’s verse with the tune^{[citation needed]}, with the intention that it be used by the peace movement at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. He urged that people sing the song as a symbol of unity between the American and Cuban peoples, and called for it to be sung in Spanish to «hasten the day [that] the USA… is some sort of bilingual country.»^[10]

For example, it was used for Paul Gascoigne («There’s only one Paul Gascoigne»), but modified for Gary Stevens («There’s only two Gary Stevens») since there were two players of the same name active at the same time.^[26] Other chants using the same tune include «You only sing when you’re winning», and «You’re getting sacked in the morning».^[27] It is also used on the soundtrack of Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, a football video game developed and published by Konami. Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum’s 2019 television commercial campaign also features this chant.^[28] Real Madrid also use this tune to sing “Reyes de Europa”.
