Gracias

Thirty kisses, thirty hugs, we want to give you
Thirty times thank you, world
For our reason to be
Thank you, Latino, for lending a hand
For your support, Puerto Rico, we thank you

We were born from the song of a generous people
From a gift given to us by the Almighty
The road hasn’t been easy since it began
Back on a day in May of '62
And through struggles and sweat that come to mind
Our people have backed us up
We’ve seen our children grow
We’ve seen loved ones depart
In different places around the globe
They’ve given us their hearts
So please receive our affection
Through this song

Thirty kisses, thirty hugs, we want to give you
Thirty times thank you, world
For our reason to be
Thank you, Latino, for lending a hand
For your support, Puerto Rico, we thank you
