Gloria in Excelsis Deo!

The beautiful light of a fortunate day
Painted Heaven in magnificent colors!
The prairie was covered in striped-colored flowers
And the birds sang in defiance

An enthusiast cry of happiness
Proudly rose through valleys and hills
When with its entourage of horrors fled
Forever the dark tyranny

The sun of Liberty shone in its brilliance
And in my beloved Puerto Rican land
Justice triumphed, great and powerful
From that day on The Law is no longer mere words
Because in Puerto Rico now highly flies
The Great American Flag!

José Lloréns Delgado
Ponce, Puerto Rico July 25, 1901
