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
