Ok, i know i'm weird but ...

By Joseíto Fernández[edit]
Given the song's musical structure, which fits A-B-A-B (sometimes A-B-B-A) octosyllabic verses, "Guantanamera" lent itself from the beginning to impromptu verses, improvised on the spot, similar to what happens with the Mexican folk song "La Bamba". Joseíto Fernández first used the tune to comment on daily events on his radio program by adapting the lyrics to the song's melody, and then using the song to conclude his show. Through this use, "Guantanamera" became a popular vehicle for romantic, patriotic, humorous, or social commentary in Cuba and elsewhere in the Spanish-speaking world.

I feel like some improvised verses are in keeping with the history of the tune. I'm dedicating these to my flock.
to the melody of Guantanamera
son ocho palomas queridas,
en su palomar de madera.
y antes de morirme quiero,
verlos volar juntos al cielo.

my birds are blue bar and red check
and they are pied and pure black.
my birds are a song in my heart
that give wings to my soul
( that's all i got so far)

Invent some verses for your birds and you can sing to them! They won't judge. :p
