Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maricela by Los Lobos from Spanish to English.
Alla en borinquen que hermosura
There in Borinquen, what beauty
La tierra santa tierra pura
The holy land, pure land
Fui a ganarme una fortuna
I went there to earn a fortune
Fuena preciosa ay que dulcura
Beautiful place, oh how sweet
Vamos a bailar
Let's dance
Esta bomba negra
This black bombshell
Vamos a bailar
Let's dance
Esta bomba negra
This black bombshell
Alla en la isla del encanto
There on the island of enchantment
Orgulloso yo les canto
Proudly I sing to you
Con sus sierras y sus santos
With its mountains and its saints
Ella un placer a mi me ha dado
She has given me pleasure
Vamos a bailar
Let's dance
Esta bomba negra
This black bombshell
Vamos a bailar
Let's dance
Esta bomba negra Ya!
This black bombshell Now!
Alla en borinquen que hermosura
There in Borinquen, what beauty
La tierra santa tierra pura
The holy land, pure land
Fui a ganarme una fortuna
I went there to earn a fortune
Fuena preciosa ay que dulcura
Beautiful place, oh how sweet
Vamos a bailar
Let's dance
Esta bomba negra
This black bombshell
Vamos a bailar
Let's dance
Esta bomba negra
This black bombshell
Ay la, ay la, ay la, la la
Ay la, ay la, ay la, la la
