PUERTO RICO IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE

PUERTORRIQUENOS ARE A BEAUTIFUL RACE
If only they 275
had turned off the television
and tune into their own imaginations
[...]

[ALL]
will right now be doing their own thing
where beautiful people sing
and dance and work together
where the wind is a stranger 300
to miserable weather conditions
where you do not need a dictionary
to communicate with your people
Aqui
Se Habla Espanol 305

all the time
Aqui you salute your flag first
[...]

Aqui the men and women admire desire
and never get tired of each other
Aqui [is] LOVE 315
