PUERTO RICO
In the summertime the city steams
With a kind of heat that can melt my dreams
Though the times are hard
Still I work and stay,
But my mind takes me away…
To Puerto Rico,
The sun’s always warm,
And the sky’s like a crystal dome
In Puerto Rico
The wind from the mountaintop sings to me
‘Cause Puerto Rico is my home.
In the autumn chill I close my eyes
While the leaves dance round under stormy skies,
And I listen close to the cold wind moan
Wondering why I’m so alone
In Puerto Rico
The sun is my friend
And the sky’s like a crystal dome
In Puerto Rico
The wind from the mountaintop sings to me.
‘Cause Puerto Rico is my home.
When the winter cold turns my blood to glue
And my feet are numb and my fingers blue
Then I long to dance like a summer day.
But the music’s so far away…
In Puerto Rico
The sun is a dancer
The sky’s like a crystal dome.
In Puerto Rico
The wind from the mountaintop sings to me,
But, Puerto Rico,
I want you to know, I want you to know,
You’re my home
To Puerto Rico,
The sun’s always warm,
And the sky’s like a crystal dome
In Puerto Rico
The wind from the mountaintop sings to me
But, Puerto Rico,
You’re my home.
Well….But from the springtime comes to the greening tree;
I have lived through change and begun to see
I have grown with time to be sure of me
And I wonder what I would be…
In Puerto Rico
The sun’s sitting still
And the sky’s like a crystal dome
In Puerto Rico
The wind from the mountaintop sings to me
‘Cause, Puerto Rico, you’re my home.
And I’ll never trade you for an old New York
‘Cause, Puerto Rico, you’re my home.
Que yo me voy, que yo me voy
Que yo me voy para Puerto Rico
Mira, que yo me estoy cansando
De este rock ‘n’ roll
Que yo lo que quiero es una salsa caliente
Oye para vacilar!
Que yo me voy, que yo me voy
Para mi patria
Oye la patria de Colon tambien!
Oye! Que yo me voy Borinquen, Borinquen,
Borinquen me llama.
La la la li lo la la oh lay oh la la la…
Que yo quiero llevar a mis amigos a Puerto Rico
Para que vea que isla mas bonita
Que patria mas linda,
Que gente mas buena y mas sana.
