Guajiras
Popular
Me gusta por la mañana
después del café bebío
pasearme por la Habana
con mi cigarro encendío
y sentarme muy tranquilo
en mi silla o mi sillón
y comprarme un papelón
de esos que llaman diario
y parezco un millonario
rico de la población.
In the morning
after drinking my coffee
I like to walk around Havana
with my lit cigarette
and sit down very relaxed
in my chair or armchair
and buy myself a wastepaper
one of those that they call a newspaper
and I seem like a millionaire
rich man of the town.
Update: You can hear Gabriel Moreno sing a version of this while Lucero Tena dances at 1:50 in the video below:
Dance Guajiras
Soon we’ll be studying guajiras. It will look something like this.
