Activate boricua, I'm going to you
(My people are coming, the time has come)
Activate boricua, I'm going to you
Activate boricua, I'm going to you
I am the essence and culture of my country
I'm Puerto Rican, more Puerto Rican than the Coqui (the chorus says!)
I am the essence and culture of my country
I'm Puerto Rican, more Puerto Rican than the Coqui
I am the essence and culture of my country
I'm Puerto Rican, more Puerto Rican than the Coqui
What I bring in my blood, it is difficult to get
Indian, Spanish, American, from that mixture I was born
I have the taste of cane, a tembleque and a mavi
I am a beach, I am a country, I am a coconut and I live, I am like that
I am the essence and culture of my country
I am Puerto Rican, more Puerto Rican than Coqui
I am the essence and culture of my country
I am Puerto Rican, more Puerto Rican than Coqui
Although fate takes me to other lands to live
No matter the distance my heart is still here
The homeland is a feeling that leads to death
I am a bomb, I am full, I am jibaro and happy
It is a tribute
To Ismael Rivera
And Rafael Cortijo
I am the essence and culture of my country
Black, Spanish and Taino, I'm pitirre and I'm coqui
I am the essence and culture of my country
I am the beach of isabela, to the plaza de manati
I am the essence and culture of my country
If I arrive and I tell you that I am a Puerto Rican
I am the essence and culture of my country
For you to know, there is nothing more to say
I am the essence ..
Boricua let's create awareness
Now is when it is shown
When the street is hard
I am beach, I am, that's where I come from
I am culture ..
I am a pump, I am full and I am flavor
Rescue values, respect and decency
That has been my borinque, that has been my fortune
I am a verse of jorel
A soneo de maelo
I am the laughter of my mother
I am the feeling of my people
I am the essence and culture of my country (I am from here)
I am Puerto Rican, more Puerto Rican than Coqui
I am the essence and culture of my country
I'm a Puerto Rican, I'm Puerto Rican like the coqui
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
