Lyrics

Esta tarde escuché una música
Y he sentido nostalgia pensando el lugar
Donde yo nací, Puerto Rico
Qué será de mi tierra y mis árboles
Qué será de mi casa cubierta de sol
Mi querido sol, viejo amigo
Quién pudiera ser ave y volar
Para regresar y estar contigo
Pronto volveré a Puerto Rico
Cantando mis canciones
Junto al mar
Pronto volveré a Puerto Rico
Allá está esperándome mi hogar
Y sentado a la sombra de aquel jardín
Que sembré el día antes de irme de allá
Sentiré el calor de mi tierra
Quién pudiera ser barco y flotar
Para estar otra vez junto a tu orilla
Quien pudiera ser ave y volar
Para regresar y estar contigo
Pronto volveré a Puerto Rico
Cantando mis canciones
Junto al mar
Pronto volveré a Puerto Rico
Allá está esperándome mi hogar
(se repite)

Lyrics translation

This afternoon I heard a music
And I felt nostalgia thinking about the place
Where I was born, Puerto Rico
What will become of my land and my trees
What will become of my sun-covered House
My dear Sun, old friend
Who could be Bird and fly
To come back and be with you
I'll be back in Puerto Rico soon
Singing my songs
By the sea
I'll be back in Puerto Rico soon
There's my home waiting for me
And sitting in the shade of that garden
That I planted the day before I left there
I'll feel the warmth of my land
Who could be Boat and float
To be by Your Shore again
Who could be Bird and fly
To come back and be with you
I'll be back in Puerto Rico soon
Singing my songs
By the sea
I'll be back in Puerto Rico soon
There's my home waiting for me
(repeats)
