Guantanamera
The lyrics of this song say "mi verso es un ciervo herido", and then, "Que busca en el monte amparo". How do the quoted passages translate to English?
This beautiful song about Cuba has its lyrics taken from a Jose Marti poem. He was a famous Cuban patriot. |

My verse* is a wounded deer**
Which seeks a protector in the mountain*** * in the sense of "poetry" ** with strong connotations of stag rather than doe *** i.e. the mountain is personified; the deer asks the mountain to guarantee it protection. |

Not a protector, but protection. Right?

My verse is like a wounded deer
that seeks refuge in the mountain..... I see the word amparo as refuge in this sense

Yes. I have heard that song and well it's very pretty to music. I liked, but here in Mexico at most not is listened.

I understand this song was very well liked and played a lot in lots of nightclubs in Mexico. Maybe not now but as with everything else, it had its moments.

So while reading this thread, I wanted to see just how long this song has been around, because I was thinking that it has been around as long as I have (if not longer). So there. It has. Take a look at the comments on the song found on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamera - kind of interesting....
So what does "guajira" mean?
