Okay, let me tell you a little about this song. The word guajiro (male) or
guajira (female) describes a person of indigenous descent. Guajiro is an
Indian, native of the Guajira Peninsula in the area around Venezuela and
Colombia. However, in countries around the Caribbean, it is also used to
proudly describe a certain dance/ rhythm, besides people. It also means
someone considered a peasant. In this song it makes a reference to both, the
dance and a woman. It contains phrases meant to put certain flavor to the
song. I'll see what I can do with it.

GUAJIRA
GUAJIRA

No me preguntes, tú sabes lo que quiero
Yo me desespero, si no tocan mi son


Tú me conoces, yo no digo mentira
Mira, dame mi guajira, y yo me pongo sabrosón


Guajira es lo que baila mi gente
Caliente yo lo que quiero es sabor
Guajira mi alma, mi cuerpo y mi mente
Caliente tócala más por favor


Suave montuno, de rítmica cadencia
Con la fragancia, de jungla tropical
Niña salvaje, mis ojos que te miran
Baila mi guajira, mi muñeca de coral

Guajira es lo que baila mi gente
Caliente yo lo que quiero es sabor
Guajira mi alma, mi cuerpo y mi mente
Caliente tócala más por favor

¡Guajira!


Flor antillana, preciosa y caribeña
Una trigueña, hija del sol y del mar


Un paso alante, un paso atrás y gira
Mira con esta guajira, uno no para de bailar

Guajira es lo que baila mi gente
Caliente yo lo que quiero es sabor
Guajira mi alma, mi cuerpo y mi mente
Caliente tócala más por favor

¡Guajira!

Guajira es lo que baila mi gente
Caliente yo lo que quiero es sabor
Guajira mi alma, mi cuerpo y mi mente
Caliente tócala más por favor

Guajira es lo que baila mi gente
Caliente yo lo que quiero es sabor
Guajira mi alma, mi cuerpo y mi mente
Caliente tócala más por favor

¡Guajira!

Do not ask me, you know what
I want. I become anxious if they
don't play my sound.

You know me, I don't lie. Look,
just give me my guajira and I'll
leave you alone.

Guajira, is what my people dance.
Hot! And all I want is just flavor.
Guajira! Is my soul, my body and
my mind. Hot! Just keep playing,
I ask you, please.

Smooth movements, full of rhythm
and cadence, with the fragrance of
a tropical jungle. Wild child, my
eyes are on you. Dance my guajira,
my beautiful doll, made of coral.

Guajira, is what my people dance.
Hot! And all I want is just flavor.
Guajira! Is my soul, my body and
my mind. Hot! Keep playing,
I ask you, please.

Guajira!

You're a tropical flower, precious
and caribeña. Guajira, daughter
of the sun and the sea.

One step forward, one step back
and spin. Look, that with this
guajira, one never stops the dance.

Guajira! Is what my people dance.
Hot! And all I want is just flavor.
Guajira! Is my soul, my body and
my mind. Hot! Just keep playing,
I ask you, please.

Guajira!

Listen to me, Guajira!

Guajira! Is what my people dance.
Hot! And all I want is just flavor.
Guajira! Is my soul, my body and
my mind. Hot! Just keep playing,
I ask you, please,

Guajira! Is what my people dance.
Hot! And all I want is just flavor.
Guajira! Is my soul, my body and
my mind. Hot! Just keep playing,
I ask you, please.

Guajira!
