Isabel, the southern sea Was kind to me, was motherly Like home and cotton sheets She had a still way about her With tiny tumbling waves Like Kiari’s dream, a reverie She settled into me Like a full stomach And well- deep dark eyes She sent me to my knees She makes me shy She makes me weak Her sun has got a hold on me cast out over the sea And now that sun has captured me My illaudable life Shaking like a leaf At the thought That this could be For me Adjuntas, trees, Boriquen coquis dons my dirty life in robes Restores my golden crown And there, the air, Could mend the tear My inner shredding My broken ground What have I found? Puerto Rico, Isabel What have you for me now? Oh Beauty, move me Lift me like a stain Give me a piece of your name To carry you and love you as I can Find me running, Buscame… Find your name in my heart Isabel’s son, my sun Sigue, Sigue, corro por ti! There’s nowhere I’d rather be Than at your feet. Following The southern sea, the beach Make a home for me….
