[Verse 1]
Tierra, aquí nació mi canto, mi bandera
Sonrisas que se cuelan por la puerta del balcón
Y este viaje que hoy me trae de vuelta
Lejos, no sabes cuanto echo de menos
El ruido de mi pueblo y la caricia de este mar
Cuando no estoy contigo, yo te invento

[Pre-Chorus]
Traigo oxidado el corazón, me hace falta cuerda
Mi alma necesita transfusión, sangre de mi tierra

[Chorus]
Regreso a la cuna que me vio nacer
Regreso a ese barrio que me vio correr
Lo que fui, lo que soy y seré por mi isla bella
De vuelta al refugio que calma el dolor
Y huele al recuerdo del primer amor
Lo que fui, lo que soy y seré por mi isla bella

[Verse 2]
Lento, las marcas van contándome que el tiempo
Es como un pasajero que se sube en tu vagón y anuncia que la vida es un momento
Dicen, los viejos de la esquina siempre dicen
No importa lo que tenga si al bajar de la estación, uno regresa siempre a sus raíces

[Pre-Chorus]
Traigo oxidado el corazón, me hace falta cuerda
Mi alma necesita transfusión, sangre de mi tierra

[Chorus]
Regreso a la cuna que me vio nacer
Regreso a ese barrio que me vio correr
Lo que fui, lo que soy y seré por mi isla bella
De vuelta al refugio que calma el dolor
Y huele al recuerdo del primer amor
Lo que fui, lo que soy y seré por mi isla bella

Ricky Martin

Enrique Martín Morales (born December 24, 1971), commonly known as Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican singer, actor and author. Martin began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop group Menudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s. He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, where he achieved modest stardom. In 1994, he appeared on the US TV soap opera General Hospital, playing a Puerto Rican singer.

In early 1999, after releasing several albums in Spanish, Martin performed “The Cup of Life” at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene. Following its success, Martin released “Livin' la Vida Loca”, which helped him attain enormous success worldwide; it is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition easier for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market. Since its release, the song has sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. His first English-language album (also titled Ricky Martin), has sold 22 million copies and is one of the best selling albums of all time. His other studio albums Me Amarás (1993), A Medio Vivir (1995), Vuelve (1998), Sound Loaded (2000), Almas del Silencio (2003), Life (2005), Música + Alma + Sexo (2011), and A Quien Quiera Escuchar (2015). In 2018, he portrayed Antonio D'Amico on The Assassination of Gianni American Crime Story for which he received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.
