The name means "Island of Blood," or "Island of a mud" which is what the [Taíno-Kalinago] called Puerto Rico, though the song is entirely in Spanish.[1] The song has been covered by numerous Puerto Rican artists and groups, such as Andrés Jiménez, Haciendo Punto en Otro Son, Lucecita Benítez,[2] and Tito Auger.[3]
