Original text:
La tierra de Borinquén
donde he nacido yo,
es un jardin florido
de magico primor.
Un cielo siempre nítido
le sirve de dosel
y dan arrullos placidos
las olas a sus pies.
Cuando a sus playas llego Colon;
Exclamó lleno de admiración;
"Oh!, oh!, oh!, esta es la linda
tierra que busco yo".
Es Borinquén 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.
The Land of the Borinques
where i was born
It is a lush garden
of magical brilliance.
A sky always clean
serves as a canopy.
And Placid lullabies are here
through the waves at her feet.
When you arrive in Columbus beaches,
he exclaimed in admiration:
Oh! Oh! Oh!
This is the beautiful country that I try.
It is Borinquen`s 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,
to the sea and the sun!
