Amanecer Borincano

I am the morning light
That illuminates new paths
That floods the mountains
The peasant trails

I am the fruit of the future
The seed of tomorrow
Planted in pure manure
Of my Boricua land

I am a dream fisherman
I'm looking for a sea of foam
Of seashells and sands
Of mermaids and moons

Of stars and horizons
My fortune is made
I am a navigating seagull
And an astronaut of the mist

I am the yeast of bread
That feeds the hope of the Puerto Rican man
Of the awakening of my homeland

I bring Puerto Rican blood
I am a son of the palm trees
Of the fields and rivers
And the singing of the coquí

I bring Puerto Rican blood
I am a son of the palm trees
Of the fields and rivers
And the singing of the coquí

Of valleys and coffee plantations
Of sugar cane, sugar, and pineapple
Of guava and mapostiales, of tembleque and maví
(Le, lo, lay)
