Puerto Rico
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wake up Angelita, your mama just turned off the light
Manolo is already waiting by the old water-pipe
Her shoes in one hand she carefully walks down the stairs
Holding her breath 'cause there's danger and love in the air.
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
Begging the Virgin won't help when you hear Manolito shout,
Manolito shout
He's already standing under the starlit sky
You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
He says he'll be leaving you soon still you beg him to stay
But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.
And though he'll be far he promises he'll write every day
When time will be right, he'll come back and he'll take you away
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Your papa don't like him, he says he's no good
He steals and he fights and he never behaves, like a young man should
Angelita she knows, he's not that bad inside
She takes the medal, she wears on a chain, and presses it into his palm.
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
