LYRICS GAME

I know the charms

Of my beautiful Borinquen

That's why I love her so much

Forever I'll call her 'Precious'

I know of her olive-skinned women

I know the smell of her roses

That's why to my rich land

Forever I'll call her 'Precious'

Island of the Caribbean

Island of the Caribbean

...

Precious, the waves of the sea that bathe you call you

Precious for being an enchantment, for being an Eden

And you have the noble chivalry of mother Spain

And the fierce song of the untamed native, you have that too

Precious, the bards who sing your history call you

It doesn't matter if the tyrant treats you with dark malice

Precious you'll be, without a flag, without laurels, or glory

Precious, precious, the sons of liberty call you

Precious, the bards who sing your history call you

It doesn't matter if the tyrant treats you with dark malice

Precious you'll be, without a flag, without laurels, or glory

Precious, precious, the sons of liberty call you

Precious, I carry you within

Deep inside my heart

And the more time passes

My love overflows for you

Because now's when I understand

Because now's when I understand

That no matter what happens

I'll be Puerto Rican

I'll be Puerto Rican

Wherever I may go

Because I carry it in my blood

As a heritage from my parents

And with pride I repeat

I love you, Puerto Rico

I love you, Puerto Rico

And that's why today, I'm moved

To dedicate this song

To that noble countryman, Raphael

And to my island of enchantment

I love you, Puerto Rico

I love you, Puerto Rico
