A forgotten spot in the Caribbean
A forgotten spot in the Caribbean
(Puerto Rico!)
A mal tiempo, buena cara
Aunque hubo hambre
Muchas muertes
Metimos mano
Pensimos
Luchamos
Sobrevivimos
Metimos mano
Pensimos
Luchamos
Sobrevivimos
(Ok, listen)
Puerto Rico, donde vengo
Es mi isla de encanto
Somos de sangre guerrera
Con corazon en mano
Cual quiera aversidad
Nosotros a frentamos
Y no es raro
Que todos juntos metamos mano
Y como dice Hector Lavoe:
"Todo tiene su final"
Donde habia grises
Ahora colores van a cambiar
La esperanza, la felicidad
Nunca va a acabar
Boricua mano arriba
Nunca nos vamo' a dejar
Leventa tu bandera
Y vamos pa’ encima a enfrenta
Porque yo prefiero morir luchando
Que vivir la vida sin hacer na'
(You know what time it is hommie?)
Leventa tu bandera
Y vamos pa' encima a enfrenta
Porque yo prefiero morir luchando
Que vivir la vida sin hacer na’
Metimos mano
(A forgotten spot in the Caribbean)
Pensimos
(A forgotten spot in the Caribbean)
Luchamos

Metimos mano

Pensimos
(Viva la Puerto Rico)
Luchamos
(Estamos activo)
Sobrevivimos
Amada tierra, te canto
Yo te recorri descalza
No soy una mujer mansa
Y quiero verte sonreir
Tus palmeras y tus playas
Y las siembras de café
Ya que a todo pulmon la fe
Nos devuelva la esperanza
Solo siento indignacion
Por cegarnos con mentiras
Muchas perdidas de vida
Siento angustia y gran dolor
Y aunque sabemos que el Sol
No se tapa con un dedo
El boricua es un guerrero
Y la lucha es su rol
La tierra de Borinquen
(A forgotten spot in the Caribbean)
(A forgotten spot in the Caribbean)
La tierra de Borinquen
(A forgotten spot in the Caribbean)
Donde he nacido yo
A mi no se me olvida
La ventolera
Ni como llovía
De adentro pa fuera
Ni tener que pedirle a alguien
Que no se suicide
Mas de 3,000 muertes
Que no se te olvide
Por esperar por un pais
Que no le importas
Que te corta la aorta
Si exportas o no te comportas
Que no soporta
Tu acento ni bandera
Que dejaron que tus hermanos
Y tu gente se muera
Olvidados, ahogados
Hechados a un lado
Pero nunca nos caímos
Seguimos parados
Luchando
Desde una isla pequeña
No hay fuerza más grande
Que la puertorriqueña
A forgotten spot in the Caribbean
A forgotten spot in the Caribbean
A forgotten spot in the Caribbean
(Zion baby! La Z y la L)
Luchamos contra ese gigante
Como hermanos echamos pa'lante
Aunque haya zonas de desastre
Nada va a evitar que me levante
Muchos colegas por las cosas se unieron
No miraron sexo, raza ni color
No toda la ayuda se hace con dinero
Oye, cuando todo lo hacemos de corazon
Luchamos contra ese gigante
Como hermanos echamos pa'lante
Aunque haya zonas de desastre
Nada va a evitar que me levante
Puerto Rico pa'alante
Vamos pa'encima, pa'alante
A paso firme, a paso de gigante
Nada va a evitar que me levante
Nos tiro a la cara
Con papel toalla
Ese canalla anaranjado
Que no tiene agallas
Nos falto el respeto
Nos abandono
Casi 3,000 muertos
Somos los ciudadanos de segunda categoria
Desesperados y abandonados en esta agonia
Muriendo dia a dia en el olvido
Destrozados por los vientos de Maria
(Puerto Rico!)
Nos tiro a la cara
Con papel toalla
Ese canalla
Anaranjado que no tiene agallas
Nos falto el respeto
Y nos abandono
Casi 3,000 muertos
(Tres mil muertos!)
Somos los ciudadanos
De segunda categoria
Desesperados y abandonados en esta agonia
Muriendo dia a dia
En el olvido
Destrozados por los vientos de Maria
Ya tu sabes
Por los vientos de Maria
(A forgotten spot in the Caribbean)
¿Dónde estas Maria?
Maria, Maria
Puerto Rico!
Pero soy Boricua
Traigo sangre Borinqueña
Soy de la peña
Que picol la caña
Y con mi mania
Vamo' a salir esta maraña
(Vamo' a salir de esta maraña!)
Soy un mejurge de tanio, de africano y de la
Madre España
De la cabaña
Que mete caña
Y no se olvidará jamás de esta patraña
(Y no se olvidará jamás de esta patraña)
(Y no se olvidará jamás de esta patraña)
Yo estuve aquí, y sigo aquí
(In the Caribbean)
Yo estuve aquí, y sigo aquí
(In the Caribbean)
Yo estuve aquí, y sigo aquí
Yo estuve aquí, y sigo aquí
