Lyrics
- La tierra de Borinquen
- donde he nacido yo
- es un jardín florido
- de mágico primor.
- Un cielo siempre nítido
- le sirve de dosel
- y dan arrullos plácidos
- las olas a sus pies.
- Cuando a sus playas llegó Colón
- Exclamó lleno de admiración:
- "Oh!, oh!, oh!, esta es la linda tierra
- que busco yo".
- Es Borinquen la hija,
- la hija del mar y el sol,
- del mar y el sol,
- del mar y el sol,
- del mar y el sol,
- del mar y el sol.
English translation
- The land of Borinquen
- where I have been born
- is a flowery garden
- of magical beauty.
- A constantly clear sky
- serves as its canopy
- and placid lullabies are sung
- by the waves at its [Borinquen's] feet.
- When at her beaches Columbus arrived
- full of awe he exclaimed,
- "Oh!, oh!, oh!, this is the lovely land
- that I seek"
- Borinquen is the daughter,
- the daughter of the sea and the sun.
- Of the sea and the sun,
- of the sea and the sun,
- of the sea and the sun,
- of the sea and the sun.
