"La niña de Guatemala", a Jose Marti poem sung by Laredo

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.




Jose Marti wrote these verses about the young woman who drowned…..the lyrics and this melody are just beautiful.


“Quiero, a la sombra de un ala,
Contar este cuento en flor:
La niña de Guatemala,
La que se murió de amor.
Eran de lirios los ramos,
Y las orlas de reseda
Y de jazmín: la enterramos
En una caja de seda.
 …Ella dio al desmemoriado
Una almohadilla de olor:
El volvió, volvió casado:
Ella se murió de amor.
Iban cargándola en andas
Obispos y embajadores:
Detrás iba el pueblo en tandas,
Todo cargado de flores.
 Ella, por volverlo a ver,
Salió a verlo al mirador:
El volvió con su mujer:
Ella se murió de amor.
 Se entró de tarde en el río,
La sacó muerta el doctor:
Dicen que murió de frío:
Yo sé que murió de amor.”

HERE IS AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

The Girl of Guatemala
At a wing’s shade, I want to tell  This story, like a flower:
The girl from Guatemala,  The girl that died of love.
 

The flowers were lilies, And mignonette ornaments
And jasmine: we buried her  In a silk casket.
She gave to the forgetful A perfumed sachet:
He came back, came back married: She died of love.
She was carried in a procession By bishops and ambassadors:
Behind were the town’s people in groups
They were all carrying flowers.
She, wanted to see him again,
She stepped out to the balcony:
He came back with his wife: She died of love.
She went into the river at dusk,
She was dead when the doctor pulled her out:
Some say she died of coldness: But I know she died of love.


Here is the song from Laredo:
