Yo soy Boricua, Latina, Hispana

I am Boricua,Latino , Hispanic

Soy Orgullosa

I am Proud

No importa donde yo valla siempre traeré mi cultura conmigo

It doesn’t matter where I go I’ll always bring my culture with me

No es algo que yo pueda dejar en casa

It is not something that I can leave at home

Diciendo que hoy estoy muy cansada de traerlo encima

Saying that I today I am tired of having it with me

Como si Fuera una cartera barata

As if it were a cheap purse

Es imposible de quitar melo porque es como mi misma piel

Its impossible for me to take it off because its like my own skin

Es en la sangre que llevo adentro

Its in the blood I carry inside

Es algo que traigo en mi corazón

Its something I bring in my heart

Nunca lo rechazare

I will never reject it

Porque mi Sangre grita Boricua

Because my blood screams Boricua

Porque mi Corazon grita Boricua

Because my Heart screams Boricua

Porque yo si soy Boricua

Because I am Boricua

No Importa si los demas me llamen Gringa

It does not matter that others may call me Gringa

Nieden tiene el poder de quitar melo

No one has the power to take it away

Porque yo si soy orgullosa de ser Boricua

Because I am proud to be Boricua
