Lyrics

Guitarra
Tendida en la madrugada,
La firme guitarra espera:
Voz de profunda madera
Desperada.

Su clamorosa cintura,
En la que el pueblo suspira,
Preñada de son, estira
La carne dura.

Arde la guitarra Sola,
Mientras la luna se acaba;
Arde libre de su e esclava
Bata de cola.

Dejó al borracho en su coche,
Dejó el cabaret sombrío,
Donde se muere de frio,
Noche tras de noche,
Y alzó la cabeza fina,
Universal y Cubana,
Sin opio, ni mariguana,
Ni cocaína.

¡Venga la guitarra vieja,
Nueva otra vez al castigo
Con que la espera el amigo,
Que no la deja!

Alta siempre, no caida,
Traiga su risa y su llanto,
Clave las uñas de amianto
Sobre la vida.

Cógela tú, guitarrero,
Limpiale de alcohol la boca,
Y en esa guitarra, toca
Tu son entero.

El son del querer maduro,
Tu son entero;
El del abierto futuro,
Tu son entero;
El del pie por sobre el,
Tu son entero...

Cógela tú, guitarrero,
Limpiale de alcohol la boca,
Y en esa guitarra, toca
Tu son entero.

Guitar:
Laid down in the pre-dawn
the firm guitar waits
voice of deep wood
desperate
Her clamorous waist
where the people sigh
pregnant with son*
She stretches
her hard flesh

The guitar burns alone
while the moon fades away
burning free from her
slaving tail gown

She left the drunkard in his car
she left the dark cabaret
where one dies of cold
night after night
And she raised her elegant head
universal and Cuban
without opium nor marijuana
nor cocaine

Come, old guitar
come again to the punishment
with which the friend that never
leaves you awaits
Always up, never down
bring your laughter
and your crying
nail your indestructible claws
into life
Take her, guitar player
clean the alcohol off her mouth
and on that guitar
play your whole son
The son of mature love
your whole son
of the open future
you whole son
of the foot over the wall
you whole son...

Take her, guitar player
clean the alcohol out of her mouth
and on that guitar
play your whole son.

*son refers to a Cuban musical genre
