Soy un hijo de Borikén
Jíbaro thru and thru
Aunque naciera en la luna
This statement would be true
Ancestors living in me
Reminder of who I am
I yearn to one day
Lay my body in these lands
En el campo o en el metro
In the mountains or at the beach
Mi cultura y mi gente
Are always at my reach
My roots go deep
Anchor me to this place
Fighting to stay alive
From people who want it erased
Puerto Rico sin Boricuas
They want to make it so
Borikén is everlasting
We won’t ever let it go
Borikén is for the fighters
Borikén is for the lovers
Borikén gets knocked down
Borikén will recover
Gracias a Don Pedro
Betances, Capetillo
Hostos, Agüeybaná
Lolita y el trío
El Pueblo de Borikén
Will always rise above
Boricuas persist cause
Borikén is who we love
