I admire the sway of the Caribbean Sea

I Admire the Sway of the Caribbean Sea

Its Undulating Rhythms and Singing Waves;

The Sun Rubs Its Fingers to Warm the Turquoise-Blue Waters

That Gives the Sea Its Briny Essence, Adding Its Unique Flavor.

The Sea When It Caresses Its Hands Over the White Sands

Of Your Beaches That Kiss the Shore;

The Sea When It Murmurs Its Verses, and the Wind

Whispering Its Melodies;

The Sea When It Pours Its Boundless Joy Over the

Borinquen Land, Celebrating Its Beauty.

And as the Moonlit Night Arrives, the Moon Shines, Calm

and Alone Over the Warm Waters of Ponce Beach.

Today I Descend from Mount Urayoán

To the Valley of Lajas and from the Valley I Reach Playa Santa;

The Journey Is as Pleasant as Your Tropical Wind Caressing My Face.

The Pineapples Along the Road Greet Me Effusively Like Old Friends,

Their Sweet Fragrance Mingling with the Salty Sea Breeze,

and at the End of the Journey, the Sun Shines, Waiting for Me,

Gleaming Radiantly at the Beach.
