Son De Cuba A Puerto Rico
Cuando se alzómi bandera
la tuya lo haría igual,
y fue esa vez la primera
que juntos quisimos volar.
Más tarde una voz amada
gritócon mucha razón:
Cuba y Puerto Rico son
de un pájaro las dos alas.
Cuba y Puerto Rico son
de un pájaro las dos alas.
Puerto Rico, ala que cayóal mar,
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.
Condiciones que no tienen que ver
con tirar un tiro,
nos abrieron el camino
mientras a ti te detienen.
Esta tarea inconclusa
tenemos que terminar,
pues quieren ver el final
todos los muertos de ambos.
Por donde salgas yo salgo,
siempre te voy a apoyar.
Por donde salgas yo salgo,
siempre te voy a apoyar.
Puerto Rico, ala que cayóal mar,
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.
Siguiendo el mismo camino
nos volvemos a encontrar,
para juntos reclamar
que se cambie tu destino.
Y si acaso le negarán
lo que por fuerza es de usted,
yo le invito a volar esta vez
con el machete en las alas,
yo le invito a volar esta vez
con el machete en las alas.
Puerto Rico, ala que cayóal mar,
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.

They're From Cuba To Puerto Rico
When I raised the flag
yours would do the same,
and that was the first time
that together we wanted to fly.
Later a beloved voice
yells very right:
Cuba and Puerto Rico are
from a bird the two wings.
Cuba and Puerto Rico are
from a bird the two wings.
Puerto Rico, wing that fell to the sea,
that he couldn't fly,
I invite you to my flight
and we seek the same heaven together.
Conditions that do not have to do with
with a shot,
they paved the way for us.
while you get arrested.
This unfinished task
we have to finish,
well, they want to see the end
all the dead of both.
Wherever you go I go,
I will always support you.
Wherever you go I go,
I will always support you.
Puerto Rico, wing that fell to the sea,
that he couldn't fly,
I invite you to my flight
and we seek the same heaven together.
Following the same path
we meet again,
to claim together
change your destiny.
And if they deny him
which of course is yours.,
I invite you to fly this time
with the machete on the wings,
I invite you to fly this time
with the machete on the wings.
Puerto Rico, wing that fell to the sea,
that he couldn't fly,
I invite you to my flight
and we seek the same heaven together.
