One ton tomato

There is a popular Cuban song entitled "Guantanamera" that is decades old. I never knew what that word meant. When the song came on it sounded all the world like he was saying, "One ton tomato", so that's how I always sang the song. It aggravated the crap outta Jan but I enjoyed it (and aggravating Jan, LOL).

Today I looked on line for the definition of the word. Much to my surprise, it means "girl from Guantanamo". Makes sense because he was actually saying, "...for she's a guantanamera...". I had been singing, in essence, "...for she's a one ton tomato...". Well, duh! A FAT CUBAN GIRL! I was almost right...wasn't I ??
