from the songs album Desde Un Principio-from The Be
Yo s? lo que son los encantos
De mi borinquen hermosa
Por eso la quiero yo tanto
Por siempre la llamar? preciosa
Yo s? de sus hembras trigue?as
S? del olor de sus rosas
Por eso a mi tierra rique?a
Por siempre la llamar? preciosa
Isla del caribe
Isla del caribe
Borinquen
Preciosa te llaman las olas
Del mar que te ba?a
Preciosa por ser un encanto
Por ser un ed?n
Y tienes la noble hidalgu?a
De la madre espa?a
Y el fiero cant?o del indio brav?o
Lo tienes tambi?n
Coro:
Preciosa te llaman los bardos
Que cantan tu historia
No importa el tirano te trate
Con negra maldad
Preciosa ser?s sin bandera
Sin lauros, ni gloria
Preciosa, preciosa
Te llaman los hijos de la libertad
Preciosa te llevo dentro
Muy dentro di mi coraz?n
Y mientras m?s pasa el tiempo
En t? se vuelca mi amor
Porque ahora es que comprendo
Porque ahora es que comprendo
Que aunque pase lo que pase
Yo ser? puertorique?o
Yo ser? puertorique?o
Por donde quiera que ande, ooohhh
Por que lo llevo en la sangre
Por herencia de mis padres
Y con orgullo repito
Yo te quiero puerto rico
Yo te quiero puerto rico
Y por eso es que me nace hoy
Dedicarle este canto
A ese noble jibarito raphael
Y a mi isla del encanto
Yo te quiero puerto rico
Yo te quiero puerto rico
I know what's enchanting
About my beautiful borinquen
That's why i love her so much
And i'll always call her precious
I know about her dark-skinned women
I know about the smell of her roses
That's why to my rich country
I'll always call her precious
Island of the caribbean
Island of the caribbean
Borinquen
The waves of the ocean that bathe you,
Calls you precious
Precious for being enchanting,
For being an eden
And you have the nobility
Of the mother, spain
And the fiery song of the ferocious indian
You have this too
Chorus:
The bards that sing your history
Call you precious
It doesn't matter that the tyrant
Treats you with black hatred
You would still be precious
Without a flag, laurels or glory
Precious, precious
You're called by liberty's children
Precious, i carry you inside
Very deep in my heart
And the more the time goes by
My love for you grows and grows
Because it's now that i understand
Because it's now that i understand
That regardless of what happens
I will always be puerto rican
I will always be puerto rican
Because wherever i walk, oooohhhh
Because i carry it in my blood
Because of my parent's heritage
And with pride i repeat
I love you puerto rico
I love you puerto rico
And that's why it's born in me today
To dedicate this song
To that noble jibarito** rafael
And to my island of enchantments
I love you puerto rico
I love you puerto rico, oooohhhh
