"El amor de mi bohío" (also known as "Mi guajirita") is a song composed, music and lyrics, in the 1930s, by the great Cuban composer Julio Brito (Julio Valdés-Brito Ibáñez)[1], known as “El pintor melódico de Cuba”[2] for having been one of the musical authors who most beautifully described the Cuban countryside in his songs.
Julio premiered "El amor de mi bohío" in 1937, at the famous Eden Concert cabaret in Havana, Cuba[3]. This song is the maximum expression of the Cuban salon guajira, the most widespread of this genre, which would become one of Julio Brito's most famous creations, being performed by great voices throughout the following decades until today.
This guajira by Julio Brito inspired Juan Orol, a Mexican filmmaker, to write the script for his film "El amor de mi bohío" (1947). The song plays as the film's opening theme, as the credits roll.
“El amor de mi bohío” is also part of films such as “El campeón ciclista” (1956)[4]. You can hear Julio Brito's song at approximately minute 00:57:29 of the film. The screenwriter uses "El amor de mi bohío" to identify the Cuban cycling team, which illustrates the extent to which Julio Brito's creation is associated worldwide with the image of his native island.

Lyrics (Spanish)
Valle plateado de luna,
sendero de mis amores,
quiero ofrendarle a las flores
el canto de mi montuna.
Es mi vivir, una linda guajirita
la cosita más bonita, trigueña.
Es todo amor, lo que reina en mi bohío
donde a la quietud del río, se ensueña.
Al brotar la aurora sus lindos colores,
matiza de encanto mi nido de amores.
Y al despertar, a mi linda guajirita
dejo un beso en su boquita, que adoro.
De nuevo el sol, me recuerda que ya el día
en su plena lozanía, reclama.
Luego se ve, a lo lejos el bohío
y una manita blanca, que me dice adiós.
- Orquesta -
Al brotar la aurora sus lindos colores,
matiza de encanto mi nido de amores.
Y al despertar, a mi linda guajirita
dejo un beso en su boquita, que adoro.
De nuevo el sol, me recuerda que ya el día
en su plena lozanía, reclama.
Luego se ve, a lo lejos el bohío
y una manita blanca, que me dice adiós.
