Lirica Borinqueña

I write Puerto Rican lyrics, a song of my country
Caribbean music from the land where I was born

Where the rooster sings early in the morning
His morning song waking up the farmer
And the nightingale is heard, singing its melody
Songs of dawn, the wind is heard singing

Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields

I write Puerto Rican lyrics, a song of my country
Caribbean music from the land where I was born

In the land of the coquí, there the night falls
Its sonata is its little flute, a passionate serenade
Where you can hear the sound
Of the breeze playing
And an inspired troubadour
Who, as it gives me, insists

Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields

But listen to me sing
Listen to me inspire for you

Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields
Beautiful music of my land
With a countryside flavor
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields
As rich as sugar cane
And sweet as sugarcane juice
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields

At night, beautiful melodies are heard
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields
Those are, those are, those are the coquíes
Of my land
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fields
