Your time has come, O Borinquen!

Puerto Rico, thank you for sharing your warmth with me
Thank you for letting me rest in the shadow of your flamboyant tree
while I was walking in the desert, thirsty and weary 
Thank you for what is obvious and for what the eyes cannot see...

Puerto Rico, you are beautiful!
Your culture is rich, profound and colorful,
Wherever I look, I see the magnificent art of the almighty,
Your landscapes and beaches are delightful!

Puerto Rico, you have had hard times,
The path of progress was hindered at times,
But your time has come, O Borinquen,

Arise and shine, be victorious over the dark-times!
