Amorosa Guajira

Loving Guajira

Amorosa Guajira

In a joyful countrysideEn una alegre campiña
Where the pineapple bloomsDonde brota en flor la piña
The flowers scentAroman las flores
And the palm grove lullsY arrulla el palmar .
Under the blue skyHay bajo el cielo azulado
A lovestruck farmerUn guajiro enamorado
His love sorrowsSus penas de amores
He began to sing...Se puso a cantar ...

"Come, loving guajira"Ven, amorosa guajira
Nothing inspires me anymoreQue ya nada me inspira
Not even the bird's songNi el canto del ave
That crosses the blue skyQue surca el azul .
Come, cheer up my hutVen, a alegrar mi bohío
Even the riverbankQue hasta el lecho del río
Has become gloomySe ha vuelto sombrío
Because you're missingPorque faltas tú .

Come, my white little houseVen, que mi blanca casita
Has been left aloneSe ha quedado solita
And seeing it so sadY al verla tan triste
Causes me painMe causa dolor .
Come, because the sun is settingVen, porque el sol ya se muere
And my soul doesn't wantY mi alma no quiere
Precious guajiraPreciosa guajira
To live without your love"Vivir sin tu amor ".
