A Single Star

Single Star! flag teeming with pride!

Covering all my towns! All my beautiful chimeras!

Flag of patriots (how I heard of valiant struggles to see you free!

How I read of revolution, the Lares revolution!)

Solitary flag! proud star! A precious pearl born in the Caribbean Sea!

Ah my Puerto Rican beauty! Ah embroidered by the patriot’s golden arm!

Ah to write the poems of you, my Taina cacica.

My cherished one, my country.
