Isla Del Encanto

Enchanted Island

Isla Del Encanto

Since I arrived at the portDesde que llego al puerto
I already feel very goodYa yo me siento bien rico
And it's the Enchanted IslandY es la Isla del Encanto
Your beloved Puerto RicoTu amado Puerto Rico

And it's hereY es aqui
Where for the first time I saw the lightDonde por primera vez la luz yo vi
In the place where I was bornEn el lugar en donde naci
And where only my Coqui singsY en donde solo canta mi Coqui

And it's hereY es aqui
In what they call the Enchanted IslandEn la que llaman la Isla del Encanto
Where day by day I wake upEn la que dia a dia yo me levanto
Where from the coast to the countrysideEn la que desde la costa hasta el campo
An Indian, a Black, and a White mixedSe mezclo un indio, un negro y un blanco

And it's BorinquenY es Borinquen
Now called Puerto RicoA la que llaman ahora Puerto Rico
Where we are all JibaritosEn la que en todos somos un Jibaritos
Where white and red stripes intertwineEn donde que franjas blancas y rojas se enlasan en ella
Where within a blue triangle only ONE star is bornEn donde dentro de un triangulo azul nace solo UNA estrella

-Chorus--Chorus-
It's the Enchanted Island, whoa ohEs la Isla del Encanto, whoa oh
Your beloved Puerto Rico, whoa oh (x2)Tu amado Puerto Rico, whoa oh (x2)

Let the proud Puerto Rican riseQue se levante el boricua orgulloso de su bandera
For it to be the 51st and remain alone and be the firstQue para que sea 51 se quede sola y sea la primera
Alone I want to see itSolita yo la quiero ver
I am a Boricua and I will fight with themYo soy un Boricua y con ellos luchare
In case they want to come from outside to mess with usPor siacaso de haya afuera quieren venir a joder
Or if they want to sell my little landO si mi tierrita quisieran vender
It bothers me to think they want to sell what is not theirsMe molesta el pensar que quieren vender lo que no es suyo
And every Puerto Rican who yells at me about prideY todo puertorriqueno que m griten del orgullo

-Chorus--Chorus-

-Instrument Break--Instrument Break-

And it's hereY es aquí
Where they want to take away our dreamsDonde nos quieren quitarnos nuestros suenos
Where they want to come and take ownershipDe donde quieren venir hacerse duenos
And if I had been born on the moonY si yo hubiese nacido en la luna
I would also be a Puerto RicanTambien seria un puertorriqueno

And it's hereY es aquí
Where they shouted as they did in LaresEn donde gritaron como hicieron en Lares
Where the Boricua shows what they're worthDonde el Boricua demuestra lo que vale
Where a sea and a conquest like Columbus in the seasDonde un mar y conquita como Colon en los mares
Where in what they call the Major Leagues, Gonzalez is the most valuableDonde en lo que llaman las Ligas Mayor el mas valioso es Gonzalez

-Chorus- (x2)-Chorus- (x2)

Because I love you Puerto RicoPorque te quiero Puerto Rico
