When the heart wears a flag
And the body is anchored to another land.
When your hands scream for your homeland
And your feet stand in unfamiliar land.
When you dream of the sea, our sea
And your eyes witness another reality.
When your lungs desire earthy air
And they are filled with grume of the city.
My soul sings La
Borinqueña,
My feet dance a salsa,
My hands mark the time of the music,
Mis
raices make their entry
And it is because Puerto Rico calls me.
