Es tarde en esta edad para un principio
Y sin embargo este es mi sentimiento
Aquí una vez, como otras veces salgo
A cantar o a morir aquí comienzo.
Y no hay fuerzas que puedan silenciarme
Salvo la triste magnitud del tiempo
Hizo aliada la muerte con su arado
Para la agricultura de los huesos
Puerto Rico, Puerto Pobre
Puerto Rico, Puerto Pobre
Tango elegido un tema caluroso
Con sangre, con palmeras, con silencio
Se trata de una isla rodeada
Por muchas aguas e infinitos muertos
Allí crece el dolor de los que esperan
Y se desangra un río de lamentos
Es una pobre isla encarcelada
Van y vienen los días cenicientos
Puerto Rico, Puerto Pobre
Puerto Rico, Puerto Pobre
Vuela la luz y vuelve a las palmera
La noche viaja en su navío negro
Y allí sigue allí está la encarcelada
Isla rodeada por el sufrimiento
