“Jose Marti Parque”
A sovereign part of Cuba in Ybor (EE-bor) city, Tampa FL.
The home of the Tampa cigar industry settled by Cubans and Italian immigrants.
This park was the location of the Casa de Pederoso, where the Cuban poet Jose Marti stayed while in exile in the late 19th century.
My favorite Spanish language song is based on his poem ‘!Guantanamera!’,
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
(I am a truthful man,
From the land of the palm.
Before dying, I want to
share these poems of my soul.)
CHORUS (AFTER EACH VERSE):
Guantanamera! Guajira!
Guantanamera!
Guantanamera! Guajira!
Guantanamera!
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmin encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmin encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
Que busca en el monte amparo
(My verses are light green,
But they are also flaming red.
My verses are like a wounded fawn,
Seeking refuge in the mountain.)
Cultivo la Rosa blanca
