"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.

Brito 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.[4]

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).[5] You can hear 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 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.
