Puerto Rican Lyrics

Lirica Borinqueña

I write Puerto Rican lyrics, a song of my countryEscribo lirica borinqueña canción trigueña de mi país
Caribbean music from the land where I was bornMúsica caribeña de la tierra en que naci

Where the rooster sings early in the morningAllá donde canta el gallo temprano por la mañana
His morning song waking up the farmerSu pregón de madrugaa despertando al labrador
And the nightingale is heard, singing its melodyY se escucha el ruiseñor su melodía entonando
Songs of dawn, the wind is heard singingCantares de amanecer, se escucha el viento cantando

Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando

I write Puerto Rican lyrics, a song of my countryEscribo lirica borinqueña canción trigueña de mi país
Caribbean music from the land where I was bornMúsica caribeña de la tierra en que naci

In the land of the coquí, there the night fallsEn la isla del coquí allí cayendo el anochecer
Its sonata is its little flute, a passionate serenadeSu sonata es su flautín serenata pasional
Where you can hear the soundDonde se escucha el sonar
Of the breeze playingDe la brisa jugueteando
And an inspired troubadourY un trovador inspirando
Who, as it gives me, insistsQue como me da se empeña.

Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando.
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando.

But listen to me singPero que escúchame cantar
Listen to me inspire for youEscúchame inspirar para ti.

Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando
Beautiful music of my landMúsica bonita de mi tierra
With a countryside flavorCon sabor a campo
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando
As rich as sugar caneTan rica como la caña
And sweet as sugarcane juiceY dulce como el guarapo
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando.

At night, beautiful melodies are heardSe oyen de noche lindas melodías
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando
Those are, those are, those are the coquíesEsos son, esos son, esos son los coquíes
Of my landDe la tierra mía
Puerto Rican lyrics echoing through the fieldsLirica borinqueña por los campos sonando.
