Spanish=
Me fui pal' monte buscando guayaba
Por la vereda del ocho y el dos
Y aunque encontré una casa dorada
Esa guayaba no la hallaba yo
Mucho he viajado por todo el mundo
Y nunca, y nunca pude encontrar
Una guayaba que me gustara
Y detuviera mi caminar
Y aunque encontré una casa dorada
Esa guayaba no pude hallar
Buscando guayaba ando yo (¿cómo?)
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendo
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendo
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendo
''
Una guayaba, salve morena
Una guayaba que esté bien buena
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendo
Bururú-barará, ¿dónde va Miguel?
Bururú-barará, fue a buscar también guayaba
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendo
Que pero, que tenga mucho mendo, pero
Que tenga, que tenga muchísimo sabor
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendo
Busco una guayaba, busco una guayaba, busco una guayaba
Por la vereda del ocho y el dos
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendo
¡Rinquin!
¡Oye! El guitarrista no vino, así que

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que yo encuentre a esa mujer y la aprenda a querer
Buscando guayaba ando yo
La busco por el monte y por la marqueta
Buscando guayaba ando yo
No no no no no no, no te escondas más y aparécete, prieta
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor y que tenga mendo
Buscando guayaba ando yo

I went to the mountain looking for a guava
On the sidewalk of eight and two
And though I found a golden house
That guava I couldn't find
I have traveled a lot around the world
And never, and never I could find
A guava that I liked enough
To make me stop my walking
And though I found a golden house
That guava I couldn't find
I'm looking for a guava (what?)
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
I'm looking for a guava
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
I'm looking for a guava
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
A guava, hail dark girl
A guava that is really good
I'm looking for a guava
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
Bururú-barará, where is Miguel going?
Bururú-barará, he also went to look for guava
I'm looking for a guava
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
That but, that has a lot of zest, but
That has, that has a lot of flavor
I'm looking for a guava
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
I'm looking for a guava, I'm looking for a guava, I'm looking for a guava
On the sidewalk of eight and two
I'm looking for a guava
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
¡Rinquin!
Hey! The guitarist didn't come, so
They will have to bear
A mouth solo
Tuning! (quín-quín con-con)

I'm looking for a guava
Little guava of the savannah
I'm looking for a guava
To you and all, that I want a guava
I'm looking for a guava
Come and give me a little hand, oh help me ¡comay!
I'm looking for a guava
I already see that you, I already see that you don't take and don't say where there is
I'm looking for a guava
Tell me! That pretty guava where I find it, oh God!
I'm looking for a guava
See that walking I always walk, sir!
I'm looking for a guava
Bururú-barará, where is Miguel going?
I'm looking for a guava
Come and help the babalao! Tell me where it is, I've never found it
I'm looking for a guava
Join me, because it can happen!
I'm looking for a guava
That I find that woman and learn to love her
I'm looking for a guava
I look for her on the mountain and on the marqueta
I'm looking for a guava
No no no no no no, no more hide and show up, dark girl
I'm looking for a guava
Let it have flavor, let it have zest
I'm looking for a guava
