@protier HAHA i was driving to a meeting, heard this on Chris Evans and just made me fill chilled and had to google it as I have only heard it at footy matches.
The words mean I am a truthfulman from the land of the palm trees an before dying I want to share these prons of my soul, my prons are soft green my prongs are all so flaming crimson.
My prons are also a wounded fawn seeking refuge in the forest, the last verse says that with the poor people of the earth I want to share my fate the streams of the mountains please me more than the sea.
My co-wroker & I always sing along with this song when we hear it on our local radio station. One day I asked him what the words were & he said..."The one time I met her".....and I said...oh, as I could not hear the words clearly. Then one day I called the radio station & got the name of the song & googled the lyrics and we laughed so hard when we realized what the lyrics really were....but the "One Ton Tomato" has that beat! Too funny!
Memories run wild and tears flow freely while listening to the song!!! As a teenager in the late 60s and early 70s(in the heat of the Cultural Revolution in neighboring mainland China, spilling over to Hong Kong), I took this song as a relieve, revelation, comforting source while facing and preparing for an unknown and probably hostile adult world. It has influenced and even constituted part of as person. It is beyond words-thankful, grateful are obviously insufficient. May be God is here!
i think the group did visit taiwan and hong kong in the early 1970's (should be sometime in 1972 and 1973). they performed at the President Hotel in Taiwan. i missed it as it was simply too expensive for me (as a teenager ) to buy the ticket. at the same time, their other song that really touched me was the one, when will i return to cuba, a song very much about the time and the place to you refer to.
And I thought they were saying ONE TON OF MAYO....the car radio had only one speaker (mono) and it was a tube radio not even a transistor radio...ahhh but what fond memories of singing along at the top of our voices!!!
i used to sing this song in the car on the way to my preschool!!! :D i love it so much that my dad had to hide the CD before id ask him to put him on lol!
another song from my days as a young boy. Used to play this over and over again on the radiogram we had. Beautiful days those...we were poor but had everything as far as life and living was concerned. Just simply loved them. wish I could relive them again..if anything to enjoy this good timeless music and maybe map my life differently to where it is now...LOL
@turnex1 Amen! Wonderful post! It was great listening to songs like Guantanmera or Come Saturday Morning by the Sandpipers as a young boy also. You said it best. Those were just Beautiful Days with timeless beautiful music. We weren't strugging to have everything that someone could possibly have. Back then, we had each other, and we'd play card games and board games as a family and that was enough. Today, the family is scattered. Again, those were Beautiful days back then.
@Beautifulmusiclistnr wow...you reminded me of the board games we played. We must have played checkers, cards and snakes and ladders a million times never mind the tattered game boards or tattered cards!...we simply made our own for the checkers and waited patiently for the paint to dry so we could play using old bottle caps. Incredibly beautiful days we will NEVER have again no matter how long we live..Way too much technology these days of want it gotta have it now or else!!!!
@turnex1 Well said! We'll never have those good old less "technology" filled days again. I'm doing some things differently this year. On Sundays, nothing technology related not even TV. I'm not talking about not listening to the radio or the record player...yes, the record player! I think we all need a break from technology. I'm turning on the TV less. There's not much on it anyway. I wish I could turn on the radio and hear The Sandpipers again. I still have my board games from back then.
I was in Cuba in january and everywhere you could hear this lovely song. Brings back good memories of Cuba. Thank you for posting and greetings from Holland.

childhood brought back to life..vivid and kinda sad cant seem to let go but at the same time impossible to repeat anew,physically speaking...thats music effect.
Fine song! It came out a good few years ago and it was good then and it's good now. Nice to have the translation from the Spanish in the middle so we can understand it in English.
@julio8492nd didn't ur mama teach u if u don't have something nice to say SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, I swear some peoples kids...shame on u, for talking smack about what people sing and share, and people that have fond memories of the song and time...try a new street try being nice for a change

@1234terian LMAO!! I've become famous for screwing up lyrics over the years, but "one ton tomato" is truly classic--"epic" as the kids say... Forgive me if I claim it as my own next time I'm drunkenly reciting my messed-up lyrics at a party.
@tristanauspride - Interesting comment. Not many outside of Australia would know who Tony Lockett is. Yes, he was good - what is the connection between Guantanamera and Tony Lockett though? Cheers.
@cockhead1000 - Thanks for the clarification. Now I'm in the loop! Fancy not knowing that - clearly, I'm not a Victorian or even a big Sydney Swans fan. Hope that doesn't put me at the bottom of the pile. Cheers!
Fantastic song by The Sandpipers! Tragically, one doesn't hear songs of this quality on the radio and TV. Thanks for posting this wonderful song which is among my favorite compositions of the past!
No idea if this is the best version og this great song but it is good enough to give me goose pimples listening tonight. And like you, it has memories of hols for me. In my case, walking down Las Ramblas in Barcelona.
If this was culled from vinyl, that is one fantastic cartridge you've got there. i have a feeling it was. Thanks for upload and memories of a phenomenal song I have enjoyed since it was originally released.
A song of beauty and the resilience of the "better part" of the human soul. The better known "official" lyrics are based on the first stanza of the first poem of the collection "Versos Sencillos" ("Simple Verses") by Cuban poet and independence hero José Martí, as adapted by Julián Orbón. Given Martí's significance to the Cuban people, the use of his poem in the song virtually elevated it to unofficial anthem status in the country.
I'm not sure why I got severely depressed during my college years when I listened to this song specifically when the singer stated. "I am a truthful man from the land of palm trees..."
No problem,LukasKarman. I think Sukiyaki was actually called "My first night without you" originally,but the record company wanted to give it a Japanese sounding title for Americans that would be memorable.
Wow, what a beautiful song... goes right through my heart. Don't know what they are saying though as I'm from the tiny island of Mauritius in the indian Ocean. Doesn't matter though, definitely one of my favourites. I saw on another video the cuban women dancing to this song and the long skirt that they wear is exactly the same as our sega dancers in Mauritius. Our sega top however is shorter and a bit more revealing. Even the flower they have on their hair are the same. How fascinating. :)

Amazingly that even tho some of us will never understand the words of songs like, Dominique, Pata Pata, La Bamba, Sukiyaki and parts of Michele by the Beatles they were still big hits!

Wow, what a beautiful song... goes right through my heart. Don't know what they are saying though as I'm from the tiny island of Mauritius in the indian Ocean. Doesn't matter though, definitely one of my favourites. I saw on another video the cuban women dancing to this song and the long skirt that they wear is exactly the same as our sega dancers in Mauritius. Our sega top however is shorter and a bit more revealing. Even the flower they have on their hair are the same. How fascinating. :)

Amazingly that even tho some of us will never understand the words of songs like, Dominique, Pata Pata, La Bamba, Sukiyaki and parts of Michele by the Beatles they were still big hits!

Some songs (too few) transcend all cultures, they touch everyone's heart. This is one of them.
