I am Boricua,
Latina, Taina
hermana, hija de la isla del encanto Puerto Rico.
Proud, dignified caliente, spiritual
Puerto Rican pride burns inside me.
Familia our blood runs thick, fierce,
with fire from the mainland and Africa together in me,
we are one.
Boricua, Taina, negrita, Puertoriquena, gitana, Africana
my many names, my many histories
and I am them and they are me.
Latina pride in my heart in my soul, in my skin, in my love.
In my voice and my cry.
Latina pride that's me.
