By Edgardo Romero

Culebra Isla preciosa, lugar donde nací,
con tus playas de arenas blancas que el Mar Caribe baña.

Al este de Borinquen, al norte de la Isla Nena,
se encuentra el terruño donde mi alma sueña.

Culebrenses con amor, pues por primera vez
en esta tierra tan bella,la luz del sol yo ví.

El sol que nos alumbra,a todos los borincanos
y pintar de dorado nuestros montes y llanos.

Mi isla es pequeñita,y su gente muy sencilla y todo el que la visite, así lo comprobará.

También recibirá calurosa bienvenida de todos los culebrenses porque así se identifican.

Aunque vaya a tierras lejanas, nunca olvidaré a mi islita caribeña donde mi vida forjé.

Presente en todo momento aquí en mi pensamiento Culebra islita querida, Isla de mis ensueños.
