Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar
Let's enjoy
Tengo un conuco rodeado
I have a small farm surrounded
De bellas palmas y el monte
By beautiful palms and the mountain
Donde cantan los cenzontles
Where the mockingbirds sing
Lindo trino modulado
Lovely trills modulated
Allí se verá formado
There will be formed
El más bonito vergel
The most beautiful garden
Y las flores dan la miel
And the flowers give honey
Más dulce que se ha probado
Sweeter than ever tasted
Ven
Come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar
Let's enjoy
Nunca se nota tristeza
Sadness is never apparent
Allá en mi verde campiña
There in my green countryside
Donde la caña y la piña
Where sugarcane and pineapple
A la tierra dan riqueza
Bring wealth to the land
Allí, la naturaleza
There, nature
Regó toda su hermosura
Poured all its beauty
Y todo el que lo ve jura
And everyone who sees it swears
Que allí el paraíso empieza
That there paradise begins
Ven
Come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar
Let's enjoy
Creciendo matas al cielo
Growing plants to the sky
En el centro del batey
In the center of the batey
Y la mata de mamey
And the mamey tree
Que es orgullo de mi pueblo
Which is the pride of my town
A su sombra, yo consuelo
In its shade, I find comfort
Por la tarde, descansar
In the afternoon, to rest
Y me detengo a esperar
And I pause to wait
Que la noche tienda el velo
For the night to lay its veil
Ven
Come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar, guajira, ven
Let's enjoy, guajira, come
A gozar
Let's enjoy
Después que la tarde muere
After the afternoon dies
Me acuesto en la choza mía
I lie down in my hut
Y espero allí el nuevo día
And there I wait for the new day
Que feliz y alegre llegue
To arrive happy and joyful
Y mientras duermo, prefiere
And while I sleep, prefers
Mi fiel perrito Trabuco
My faithful little dog Trabuco
Cuidar de todo el conuco
To watch over the whole farm
Porque es fiel y a mí me quiere
For he is loyal and loves me
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
Guajira, ven
Guajira, come
