Para la ciudad, ay, para la ciudad

Lleva en su pensamiento todo un mundo lleno

De felicidad, ay, de felicidad

Piensa remediar la situación

Del hogar que es toda toda su ilusión, sí

Y alegre el jibarito va pensando así
And cheerful the jibarito is thinking like this
Diciendo así, cantando así por el camino
Saying like this, singing like this along the way
Si yo vendo la carga mi dios querido

Un traje a mi viejita voy a comprar
A suit for my old lady I'm going to buy
Y alegre también su yegua va

Al presentir que aquel cantar

Es todo un himno de alegría

Y en esto le sorprende la luz del día

Y llegan al mercado de la ciudad

Pasa la mañana entera sin que nadie quiera

Su carga comprar, ay, su carga comprar

Todo, todo esta desierto y el pueblo esta muerto

De necesidad, ay, de necesidad

Se oyen los lamentos por doquier

En su desdichada Borinquen sí

Y triste el jibarito va pensando así

Diciendo así, llorando así por el camino

Que será de Borinquen mi dios querido

Llamo la perla de los mares

Ahora que tú te mueres con tus pesares

Déjame que te cante yo también
