Amanecer Borincano
Gilberto Santa Rosa
Puerto Rican Dawn
I am the light of the morning
That lights up new paths
That is flooding the mountains
The peasant trails
I am the fruit of the future
The seed of tomorrow
Sown in pure manure
From my Puerto Rican land
I am a fisherman of dreams
I'm looking for a sea of foam
Of shells and sand
Of sirens and mist
Of stars and horizons
My fortune is being made
I am a sailing seagull
And astronaut of the moon
I am the yeast of bread
That feeds the hope of the Puerto Rican man
From the awakening of my homeland
I have Puerto Rican blood
I am the son of the palm trees
From the fields and the rivers
And the song of the coquí
I have Puerto Rican blood
I am the son of the palm trees
From the fields and the rivers
And the song of the coquí
Of valleys and coffee plantations
Of cane, sugar and pineapple
Of guava and masonry, of tembleque and of maví
(Le, lo, lay)
