Cuando se alzó mi bandera
la tuya lo haría igual
y fue esa vez la primera
que juntos quisimos volar.
Más tarde una voz amada
gritó con mucha razón:
Cuba y Puerto Rico son
de un pájaro las dos alas.
Puerto Rico, ala que cayó al mar
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.
Condiciones que no tienen
que ver con tirar un tiro
nos abrieron el camino
mientras a ti te detienen.
Esta tarea inconclusa
tenemos que terminar
pues quieren ver el final
todos los muertos de ambos.
Por donde salgas, yo salgo,
siempre te voy a apoyar.
Siguiendo el mismo camino
nos volvemos a encontrar
para juntos reclamar
que se cambie tu destino.
Y si acaso le negaran
lo que por fuerza es de usted,
yo lo invito a volar esta vez
con el machete en las alas.
