Isla del Encanto
Gilberto Santa Rosa
Enchanted Island
When the moon falls on your palm trees
And on your beaches the sea stirs its waves
The sky offers its best star
To give light to your precious sand.
In the morning the sun always rises first
And my paradise fills with light
And in the green mountain the jibarito sings
A 'lelolay' that is a sign throughout the world.
You are the beautiful dream of the best poet
Who, inspired by you, died dreaming.
For your blue sky and your green fields
Land of Eden, Enchanted Island.
You are enchanting and that's why I love you so much!
Enchanted Island
My Puerto Rico, I am singing to you.
Because you are beautiful, my land,
Throughout and across.
From San Juan to Ponce,
From Mayagüez to Fajardo.
Those one hundred by thirty-five
Have magic, have something.
How I love your beaches,
And I am fascinated by your fields.
The waves of the sea call you precious,
Rafael said in his song.
The fort that protects you
And the anvil continues to adorn you.
In your soil, I saw the light of heaven and I continue to be inspired by you.
I am a purebred Puerto Rican, that's why I sing to you.
Look!
That's where I come from,
I am from there
I come from Puerto Rico
Listen! From the island of coki
A place that is very beautiful
Delicious to live
Those who say 'oh my goodness', they are from my country.
