Preciosa

Precious

I know what the charms are
of my beautiful Borinquen
that's why I love her so much
I will always call her precious

Caribbean island

Borinquen
The waves call you precious
from the sea that goes to you
Precious for being a charm
for being an Eden
and you have the noble lineage
of Mother Spain
and the fierce song
of the wild Indian
you have it too

The bards call you precious
who sing your history
it doesn't matter the tyrant treats you with black evil
you will be precious without flags
without laurels or glories
precious, precious the children call you
of freedom

Gardenia Perfume - Rafael Hernández

Your mouth has the perfume of gardenias
beautiful flashes of light in your gaze
your laughter is a rhyme of joyful notes
to move your hair like waves in the sea.

Your body is a copy of Venus of Cíteles
that women envy when they see you pass by
and you carry in your soul the virginal purity
that's why your beauty is of a mystical candor.

Gardenia perfume has your mouth
Gardenia perfume, perfume of love.

Gardenia perfume has your mouth
Gardenia perfume, perfume of love.
