Voz del guiro (1967, Puerto Rico)
Es un canto de espíritu patriótico basado en un poema de Andrés Castro Ríos (1942-2006). Esta canción se distingue por una escritura de orientación modal.

lyrics

Soy de mi tierra antillana
el calor, el dolor el grito.
Llevo el amor infinito
de la luz de la mañana.

A mi cadencia temprano,
se arrincona la mañana.
El aire, el sol,
la cabaña y el pitirre,
que en su pico trae
la voz de Puerto Rico y
el corazón de mi entraña.

-Andrés Castro Ríos

--

I come from the Caribbean’s heat, its lust, its yell…
Its undying love,
shinning in the morning bright,
along with my early cadence,
where the sunrise hides itself…

That cabin, that sun, that air
brings in the voice of the kingbird,
Puerto Rico’s heart and pain…
