Primera lección en inglés
[First lesson in English]
escucha bién
[listen well]
cuando vayas a caminar
[when you go walking about]
Never say Puerto Rican... again...
Never say that the island is in
within yourself
Just say French, Peruvian, Chilean, Czek!
Anything else, anything else,
but never never
open that chest and say
Puerto Rican again.
Segunda lección en inglés
[Second lesson in English]
escucha bién
[listen well]
cuando vayas a caminar
[when you go walking about]
Never say to the next door man
That your white Puerto Rican skin
Is Puerto Rican
because like the be
You may die from the sting
Cuando vayas a caminar
escucha bien
Never say that your kinky hair
with the flat nose on the side,
is fair
"Tell me sir, something about yourself..."
No me atrevo a decirlo... en inglés!
[I don't dare say it... in English!!]
