Ina Cumpiano,   Puerto Rico


~ A décima ~


Play me a décima, friend.

Play me a song from the island.

Play me the sea and the sand…

When cuatro and sunlight blend

I’m a sick man on the mend.

Where, in the tree branch, coquí

sings his two notes in high C,

there where the sun’s a bright mango

and a plena more real than a tango,

play, borinqueño, for me.
