Keith R said:By any chance do you mean the one that begins "Quisqueya, tierra de mis amores?" and which Fernandito did a rendition of on his "Ni?o Mimado" album a few years back? If so, I might be able to dig up the lyrics from the sleeve of the cassette (yeah, it was that long ago! LOL).
Well, I found the cassette, but it does not seem to have the lyrics (I thought it did). But I played it, and this is what I hear:rm85 said:yes, its that song.

A little bit of history:Keith R said:Well, I found the cassette, but it does not seem to have the lyrics (I thought it did). But I played it, and this is what I hear:
No hay tierra tan hermosa como la mia,
rodeada de los mares de blanca espuma,
parece una gaviota de blancos palmares
dormida en la orilla del ancho mar.
Quisqueya, la tierra de mis amores,
de suaves brisas y lindas flores,
al fondo de los mares mil perlas marinas.
Quisqueya divina mis cantares, linda
Quisqueya, yo te comparo con una estrella.
