Official Lyrics video for Guillermo Portabales - El Carretero Subscribe to World Circuit - ‘El Carretero’ remastered for CD, LP & digital - out October 4th: Guillermo Portabales was a unique performer of the Cuban guajira rhythm, whose distinctive voice and guitar style helped define and popularise the easy swaying style. Born in Cuba, Portabales divided his time between his homeland and Puerto Rico. His music went on to become hugely popular in both North and South America and more recently in West Africa - 'El Carretero', one of his most famous songs, has been covered by a variety of artists including Senegalese artists Orchestra Baobab and Cheikh Lô. His music also had a significant influence on the artists who eventually came together as Buena Vista Social Club, with a performance of ‘El Carretero’ featuring on their eponymous album.

Me voy al transbordador a descargar la carreta Me voy al transbordador a descargar la carreta Para llegar a la meta de mi penosa labor. A caballo vamos pa´l monte, a caballo vamos pa´l monte A caballo vamos pa´l monte, a caballo vamos pa´l monte. Yo trabajo sin reposo, para poderme casar, que Yo trabajo sin reposo para poderme casar Y si lo puedo lograr seré un guajiro dichoso. A caballo vamos pa´l monte, a caballo vamos pa´l monte A caballo vamos pa´l monte, a caballo vamos pa´l monte. Soy guajiro y carretero, en el campo vivo bien Yo soy guajiro y carretero, y en el campo vivo bien Porque el campo es el edén más lindo del mundo entero. A caballo vamos pa´l monte, a caballo vamos pa´l monte A caballo vamos pa´l monte, a caballo vamos pa´l monte. Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano, recoge el fruto de tu sudor Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano, recoge el fruto de tu sudor.
