Carnaval Del Barrio |
| Hey! |
| Hey! |
| What’s this tonterÍa that I’m seeing on the street? |
| I never thought I’d see the day… |
| Since when are Latin people scared of heat? |
| When I was a little girl |
| Growing up in the hills of Vega Alta |
| My favorite time of year was Christmas time! |
| Ask me why! |
| Why? |
| There wasn’t an ounce of snow |
| But oh, the coquito would flow! |
| As we sang the Aguinaldo |
| The carnaval would begin to grow! |
| Business is closed, and we’re about to go… |
| Let’s have a carnaval del barrio! |
| ¡Wepa! |
| ¡Carnaval del barrio! |
| ¡Carnaval del barrio! |
| Carnaval… |
| ¡Carnaval! |
| Del barrio… |
| ¡Barrio! |
| Carnaval… |
| ¡Carnaval! |
| Del barrio… |
| ¡Barrio! |
| We don’t need electricidad! |
| Get off your butt, ¡avanza! |
| Saca la maraca, bring your tambourine |
| Come and join the parranda |
| ¡Wepa! |

| Oh, me, me, me! |
| Dani I have a question |
| I don’t know what you’re cantando |
| Just make it up as you go! |
| We are improvisando! |
| Lai le lo lai lo le lo lai! |
| You can sing anything! |
| What? |
| Carla, whatever pops into your head |
| Just so long as you sing! |
| Uh… My mom is Dominican-Cuban |
| My dad is from Chile and P.R. which means: |
| I’m Chile-Domini-Curican… |
| But I always say I’m from Queens! |
| ¡Wepaaa! |

| Why is everyone so happy? |
| We’re sweating and we have no power! |
| I gotta get out of here soon |
| This block’s getting worse by the hour! |
| You can’t even go to a club with a friend |
| Without having somebody shove you! |
| Ay, por favor |
| Vanessa, don’t pretend that Usnavi’s your friend |
| We all know that he looooove you! |
| Ohhhh! |
| Wow, now that you mention that sexual tension is easy to see! |
| Yo, this is bogus! |
| Haven’t you noticed you get all your coffee for free? |

| Yo, y-y-yo-yo! |
| Now, now, everyone gather ‘round, sit |
| Down, listen, I got an announcement |
| Wow, it involves large amounts, it’s |
| Somewhere in the range of ninety-six thousand! |
| Atención, I’m closin' shop! |
| Sonny, grab everybody a soda-pop! |
| Yo, grab a bottle, kiss it up to God |
| ‘Cause Abuela Claudia just won the lotto! |
| Abuela Claudia won the lotto! |
| We’re bookin' a flight for D.R. |
| tomorrow! |
| Oh my gah! |

| Alza la bandera |
| ¡La bandera Cubana! |

| ¡Esa bonita bandera! |
| ¡Contiene mi alma entera! |
| Y cuando yo me muera |
| ¡Entiérrame en mi tierra! |

| Hey! |
| Off to a better place! |
| Hey! |

| Hey! |
| Everything changes today! |
| Hey! |
| Goodbye, Mr. Rosario! |
| Okay! |
| I’m taking over the barrio! |
| We’re getting out of the barrio! |
| Hey, Mr. Benny: have you seen any horses today? |
| Hey! |
| What do you mean? |
| I heard you and Nina went for a roll in the hay! |
| Hey! |
| Ohhhh… |
| Benny and Nina |
| Sitting in a tree! |
| ¡Qué bochinche! |
| Nina and Benny! |
| Benny and Nina |
| Sitting in a tree! |
| ¡Qué bochinche! |
| Nina and Benny! |
| Hold up |
| Wait a minute! |
| Usnavi’s leavin' us for the Dominican Republic? |
| And Benny went and stole the girl |
| That I’m in love with? |
| She was my babysitter first! |
| Hoo! |
| Listen up, is that |
| What y’all want? |
| We close the bodega |
| The neighborhood is gone! |
| They selling the dispatch |
| And they closing the salón |
| And they’ll never turn the lights back on, ‘cause— |
| We are powerless, we are powerless! |
| And y’all keep dancin' and singin' and celebratin' |
| And it’s gettin' late and this place disintegratin' and— |
| We are powerless, we are powerless! |
| Alright, we’re powerless, so light up a candle! |
| There’s nothing going on here that we can’t handle! |
| You don’t understand, I’m not trying to be funny! |
| We’re gonna give a third of the money to you Sonny! |
| What? |
| Yeah, yeah… |
| For real? |
| Yes! |
| Maybe you’re right, Sonny, call in the coroners! |
| Maybe we’re powerless, a corner full of foreigners |
| Maybe this neighborhood’s changing forever |
| Maybe tonight is our last night together, however! |
| How do you want to face it? |
| Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it? |
| Y’all could cry with your head in the sand |
| I’m a fly this flag that I got in my hand! |
| ¡Pa'rriba esa bandera! |
| Hey! |
| ¡Álzala donde quiera! |
| Hey! |
| Can we raise our voice tonight? |
| Can we make a little noise tonight? |
| Hey! |
| ¡Esa bonita bandera! |
| Hey! |
| ¡Contiene mi alma entera! |
| Hey! |
| In fact, can we sing so loud and raucous |
| They can hear us across the bridge in East Secaucus? |
| [PIRAGUA GUY/DANIELA/ |
| CARLA/SONNY/MEN] |
| ¡Pa'rriba esa bandera! |
| ¡Álzala donde quiera! |
