Thread Name: Lyr Req: Juan Tanamera (Guantanamera)
Subject: Juan Tanamera (?)
Pete Seeger used to sing/sings a song in Spanish called something like Juan Tanamera. It starts:

Yo soy un hombre de la tierra

The lyrics were written by by a Cuban poet, Jose Marte(?) who was exiled in N.Y.

It doesn't seem to be in the database. I would like the lyrics, but in particular I would like to know what he sings in the second line of the chorus right before he repeats "Juan Tanamera".

Thanks,

Murray
