Lyrics
Si yo no hubiera nacido
En la tierra en que nací
Estaría arrepentido
De no haber nacido allí
Yo no tengo, la culpita
Oigan queridos hermanos
De nacer en esta islita
Y de ser buen borincano
Como yo no soy de piedra
Algún día moriré
Y a mi borincana tierra
Mis despojos dejaré
Entiérrenme donde quieran
Pero sí en mi Borinquén
Bolívar en Venezuela
En Cuba Maceo y Martí
Y en República Argentina
El glorioso San Martín
Ya le dieron a sus pueblos
Patria y media libertad
Y a mi borincana tierra
Sabe Dios quien le dará
Lyrics translation
If I hadn't been born
In the land where I was born
I'd be sorry.
If I wasn't born there
I don't have the blame.
Listen dear brothers
To be born in this little island
And to be good borincano
As I am not of stone
Someday I'll die
And my borincana land
My spoils I'll leave
Bury me wherever you want
But yes in my Borinquen
Bolívar en Venezuela
In Cuba Maceo and Martí
And in the Argentine Republic
The glorious Saint Martin
They already gave to their villages
Homeland and half freedom
And my borincana land
God knows who will give him
