lyrics

The roof flew with the storm.
The streets are slowly sinking.
The roots of trees are all torn.
From the ground, the green is missing.
The top of the mountain is powerless.
The moon can't last the night.
Can they afford another hour of this?
Somebody bring back the light.

The water, rooftops, and light.
The power, light up the night.
The moon can't last the night.
Bring back my people their lives.

The wind blew into every wall.
There's no air, there's nothing left to breathe.
Better step the right way or you'll fall.
Can you hear them flood these sunken streets singing,
"¡O, vamos luchar!
¡Puerto Rico se levantará!
¡No, nos vamos quitar!
¡Puerto Rico se levantará!"

Bring back my people their right
To power, rooftops and light.
Bring back my people their lives

¡O, vamos luchar!
¡Puerto Rico se levantará!
¡No, nos vamos quitar!
¡Puerto Rico se levantará!
