La Borincana

The Puerto Rican

La Borincana

I woke up and looked out the windowDesperte y me asome a la ventana
and saw the mountains of Poncey mire a las montañas de ponce
a cloud from that morninguna nube de aquella mañana
its figure formed in the airsu figura formaba en el aire

As the cold chilled my fleshComo el frio celaba mis carnes
your love almost burned my insidescasinaba tu amor mis entrañas
with your lights of love you looked at mecon tus luces de amor me miraste
with your light of Puerto Rican passioncon tu luz de pasion borincana

There the sun rises,Alli sale el sol,
there the sun rises,alli sale el sol,
there the Puerto Rican sun rises,alli sale el sol borincana,
there the sun risesalli sale el sol

But I searched for you through your streetsPero te busque por tus calles
and I reached Mayajuey llegue hasta mayajue
I strolled through Old San Juanpor el viejo san juan yo me pasie
and I even reached the Stone Rivery hasta el rio de piedra yo llegue
Puerto Rican...borincana....

There the sun rises,Alli sale el sol,
there the sun rises,alli sale el sol,
there the Puerto Rican sun risesalli sale el sol borincana
there the sun risesalli sale el sol

But a dark cloudPero un nubarron
in your bright skyen tu brillante cielo
spread across the whole islandse extendio por todita la isla
while I waitedmientras yo esperando
hoping it would clearescampando escampo
Puerto Rican...borincana....

And the sun was risingY ya salia el sol
and the sun was risingy ya salia el sol
and the sun was risingy ya salie el sol
