Lyrics and translation Willie Colón feat. Rubén Blades - Buscando Guayaba

Buscando Guayaba

Me fui pa'l monte buscando guayaba
Por la vereda del 8 y el 2
Y aunque encontré una casa dorada
Esa guayaba no la hallaba yo

Mucho he viajado por todo el mundo
Y nunca, 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 mendó

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendó

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendó
Una guayaba salve morena
Una guayaba que está bien buena

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendó
Bururú barará, ¿dónde va Miguel?
Bururú barará, fue a buscar también guayaba

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendó
Pero que tenga mucho mendó
Pero que tenga, que tenga muchísimo sabor

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor que tenga mendó
Busco una guayaba, busco una guayaba
Busco una guayaba por la vereda del 8 y el 2

Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor, que tenga mendó

Rinquin
Oye, Guitarrita no vino, así que
Van a tener que soportar un solo de boca
Afinación quinquin concon

Juega Yimi

Que tenga el sabor, que tenga mendó
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Guayabita sabanera
Buscando guayaba ando yo

Aquí al toque, yo quiero una guayaba
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Venga y deme una manito, ay, ayúdeme, comae
Buscando guayaba ando yo

Ya la veo que usted, ya la veo que usted no coge y no dice dónde hay
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Dime esa guayaba bonita dónde la encuentro, ay Dios
Buscando guayaba ando yo

Que, que caminando y siempre voy yo andando, señor
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Bururú barará, ¿dónde va Miguel?
Buscando guayaba ando yo

Ven, ayudado de al la'o, dime dónde está que nunca yo la he encontra'o
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Acompáñame porque puede suceder
Buscando guayaba ando yo

Que yo encuentre 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 te escondas más y aparece esta prieta
Buscando guayaba ando yo
Que tenga sabor y que tenga mendó
Buscando guayaba ando yo

Looking for Guavas

I went into the woods looking for guavas
On the path of eight and two
And although I found a golden house
I could not find that guava

I have traveled far and wide
And never, never could I find
A guava that I liked
And stop my wandering
And although I found a golden house
I could not find that guava

I'm looking for a guava (how?!)
That has flavor, that has [mendó]

I'm looking for a guava
That has flavor, that has [mendó]

I'm looking for a guava
That has flavor, that has [mendó]
A guava that's brown
A guava that's very good

I'm looking for a guava
That has flavor, that has [mendó]
Bururú barará, where's Michael going?
Bururú barará, he went to look for a guava too

I'm looking for a guava
That has flavor, that has [mendó]
But that has a lot of [mendó]
But that has, that has a lot of flavor

I'm looking for a guava
That has flavor, that has [mendó]
I'm looking for a guava, I'm looking for a guava
I'm looking for a guava on the path of eight and two

I'm looking for a guava
That has flavor, that has [mendó]

Rinquin
Hey, Guitarrita didn't come, so
You're going to have to endure a mouth solo
Quinquin concon tuning

Play Yimi

That has the flavor, that has [mendó]
I'm looking for a guava
Savannah guava
I'm looking for a guava

Here on the spot, I want a guava
I'm looking for a guava
Come and give me a hand, help me, man
I'm looking for a guava

I can see that you, I can see that you don't know where they are
I'm looking for a guava
Tell me that beautiful guava where I can find it, oh God
I'm looking for a guava

That, that walking and I always go walking, sir
I'm looking for a guava
Bururú barará, where's Michael going?
I'm looking for a guava

Come, helped by those beside, tell me where it is that I've never found it
I'm looking for a guava
Come with me because it may 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 in the woods and in the market
I'm looking for a guava

No, no no no no, don't hide anymore and appear this black girl
I'm looking for a guava
That has flavor and that has [mendó]
I'm looking for a guava
