Happy Grito de Lares! ... or something like that

I don't feel the need to describe el Grito de Lares here, seeing as Wikipedia does a decent job of describing it. Instead I thought I would just put the original lyrics for La Borinqueña, written in 1868. The lyrics used now for the anthem have been edited (or censured, if you prefer) to exclude the revolutionary feel of the song. English lyrics courtesy of Wikipedia (again)...

¡Despierta, borinqueño

que han dado la señal!

¡Despierta de ese sueño

que es hora de luchar!

[Arise, boricua! The call to arms has sounded! Awake from the slumber, it is time to fight!]

A ese llamar patriótico

¿no arde tu corazón?

¡Ven! Nos será simpático

el ruido del cañón.

[Doesn't this patriotic call set your heart alight? Come! We are in tune with the roar of the cannon.]

Mira, ya el cubano

libre será;

le dará el machete

su libertad...

le dará el machete

su libertad.

[Come, the Cuban will soon be free; the machete will give him his liberty, the machete will give him his liberty.]

Ya el tambor guerrero

dice en su son,

que es la manigua el sitio,

el sitio de la reunión,

de la reunión...

de la reunión.

[Now the war drum says with its sound, that the countryside is the place of the meeting.]

El Grito de Lares

se ha de repetir,

y entonces sabremos

vencer o morir.

[The Cry of Lares must be repeated, and then we will know: victory or death.]

Bellísima Borinquén,

a Cuba hay que seguir;

tú tienes bravos hijos

que quieren combatir.

[Beautiful Borinquén must follow Cuba; you have brave sons who wish to fight.]

ya por más tiempo impávido

no podemos estar,

ya no queremos, tímidos

dejarnos subyugar.

[Now, no longer can we be unmoved; now we do not want timidly to let them subjugate us.]

Nosotros queremos

ser libre ya,

y nuestro machete

afilado está.

y nuestro machete

afilado está.

[We want to be free now, and our machete has been sharpened.]

¿Por qué, entonces, nosotros

hemos de estar,

tan dormidos y sordos

y sordos a esa señal?

a esa señal, a esa señal?

[Why then have we been so sleepy and deaf to the call?]

No hay que temer, riqueños

al ruido del cañón,

que salvar a la patria

es deber del corazón!

[There is no need to fear, Ricans, the roar of the cannon; saving the nation is the duty of the heart.]

ya no queremos déspotas,

caiga el tirano ya,

las mujeres indómitas

también sabrán luchar.

[We no longer want despots, tyranny shall fall now; the unconquerable women also will know how to fight.]

Nosotros queremos

la libertad,

y nuestros machetes

nos la darán...

y nuestro machete

nos la dará...

[We want liberty, and our machetes will give it to us.]

Vámonos, borinqueños,

vámonos ya,

que nos espera ansiosa,

ansiosa la libertad.

¡La libertad, la libertad!

[Come, Boricuas, come now, since freedom awaits us anxiously, freedom, freedom!]
