Un "g[Gm]uache" siffle pour s'invi[Bb]ter à dîner [Dm] [F] [Gm] [Dm]

[Dm]La "guagua" escalade les jardins [F]en escalier
[Gm]Sous le volcan d'la ballade, "el silbo" pe[Bb]rce la fumée[Dm] [F] [Gm] [Dm]

[Dm]Et me voilà, petit géant, prêt à [F]siffler dans le vent
[Gm]Les deux-trois mots que j'ai gardés s'envo[Bb]lent vers toi
[Dm]Gomer[F]o! B[Gm]onif[Dm]acio!

[CHORUS]
[Dm]C'est une île au parad[F]is où l[Gm]es humains siff[Bb]lent aussi
[Dm]Le plus beau chant du plus [F]bel oiseau, c'est le[Gm] silbo gomer[Dm]o

[Dm] [F] [Gm] [Bb]
[Dm] [F] [Gm]C'est [Dm]le silbo gomero

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

There is a place where men speak like birds
On the island of La Gomera, we hear "el silbo" in echo

Between two mountains moored to the clouds
A "guache" invites to have dinner

Menu? A spicy "mojo" which rises to eyes
And, again, a whistling to say goodbye

Seeing him yomping, agile foot, bowed legs
We distinguish him from argile only by his whistle sound

The "lucha canaria" to protect his island
"El silbo" to brave the "Gardia civil"

It's an island in heaven, where men whristle too
The beautifulest song of the beautifulest bird, it's "silbo gomero"
It's "silbo gomero"

"Guagua" climbs terraced gardens
Under the volcan walk, "el silbo" goes through the smoke
And here I am, litlle giant, ready to whistle in the wind
Few words I kept flie towards you
Gomero! Bonifacio

It's an island in heaven, where men whristle too
The beautifulest song of the beautifulest bird, it's "silbo gomero"
It's "silbo gomero"
