lyrics

1898

Puerto Rico, top-soil,

Your deep earth is Boriken

En La Isla del Encanto

Place where we Taíno once swam

Eighteen hundred and ninety eight

All eyes on Cuba's pain

Papers signed in old Paris

Cuba, Guam, and the Phillippines



Mira como los hijos de Dios

se olvidan

de los hijos de Dios

y ya no canta el coquí



Puerto Rico, heart-broken,

Caribe roots screaming deeply

Remember the Mano de Dios

Destiny manifests naked greed

Miles of warships on Guánica

Bombs on Vieques, corporate tax-holes

Pharma-land, resorts for so few

Low-blood sugar trade and united fruit



Mira como los hijos de Dios

se olvidan

de los hijos de Dios

y ya no canta el coquí



Puerto Rico, free-fallin',

Associated state of Caribbean dreaming

They can serve but got no say

Dulles knives de "La Operación"

Counted out yet almost in

The star on this flag is a bar on that star

None shall gag Don Pedro's name

Echoing on El Grito de Lares



Mira como los hijos de Dios

se olvidan

de los hijos de Dios

y ya no canta el coquí



Eighteen hundred and ninety eight

Sanctioned otherhood, flooding debt

Eighteen hundred and ninety eight

Ain't no borders on the rising tide

Eighteen hundred and ninety eight

As American as a hungry child

Mil ochocientos noventa y ocho

As American as a leilolai



Mira como los hijos de Dios

se olvidan

de los hijos de Dios

y ya no canta...
