| 作词 : Simon, Walcott | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| We came here when I was a child | |
| Before I reached the age of sixteen | |
| I was running with the gang and we were wild | |
| He keeps looking but he don't recognize me. | |
| Some guy from Lexington or Park | |
| Red beans and rice from kitchen windows | |
| Supper-time and the barrio is dark. | |
| No one knows you like I do | |
| Nobody can know your heart the way I do | |
| No one can testify to all that you've been through | |
| But I will. | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| And my blood is Taino | |
| Spanish Caribbean my soul | |
| We came here wearing summer clothes in winter | |
| Hearts of sunshine in the cold | |
| Your family rented this apartment | |
| You'd watch the street lamps from your perch | |
| In the sacramental hour your stepfather in black | |
| Preached the fire of the Pentecostal Church | |
| No one knows you like I do | |
| Nobody can know your heart the way I do | |
| No one can testify to all that you've been through | |
| But this will. | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| Came here when I was a child. | |
| Small change and sunlight, then I left these streets | |
| for good. | |
| My days as short as they were wild. | |
| I'm Carlos Apache | |
| Angel Soto | |
| Frenchy Cordero | |
| Babu Charlie Cruz | |
| Your features blurred in every grainy photo | |
| And fading headline of the Daily News | |
| Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children | |
| Auburn, Brooklyn House of D., | |
| Dannemora, Sing-Sing, Attica, | |
| Greenhaven | |
| Twenty years inside, today you're free. | |
| You cannot even read your story | |
| The pages piling up in shame | |
| Before the words released you, the guard would | |
| kill the light | |
| The night you took The Capeman for your name. | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| I was born in Puerto Rico | |
| Yo naci en Puerto Rico | |
| Yo naci en Puerto Rico | |
| Mi corazon es Puerto Rico | |
| Mi alma es Puerto Rico |
