Hundreds of Stories |
| Paciencia y fe! |
| Paciencia y fe! |
| Let me see it again! |
| We kept it safe |
| So we survived the night; |
| What happens today? |
| A third for you |
| Uh huh, uh huh! |
| Uh huh, uh huh! |
| A third for me! |
| No pare! |
| Sigue, sigue! |
| The rest for Sonny— |
| And with our share of the money |
| And with our share of the money— |
| Dream of the seaside air! |
| See me beside you there! |
| Think of the hundreds of stories we will share! |
| You and I! |
| Ayy… |
| Now you can sell your store! |
| Open a bar by the shore! |
| I’ve told you hundreds of stories |
| About home; |
| make some more |
| More… |
| Yo! |
| I know just where to go! |
| There’s a little beach named Playa Rincón |
| With no road, you need a rowboat or motorbike |
| To reach this beach, it’s just a stone’s throw |
| From home |
| My folks' home |
| Before I was born |
| Before they passed on |
| And left me on my own, in New York, with the grocery store |
| They would talk about home, I listened closely for |
| The way they whispered to each other |
| ‘Bout the warmer winter weather |
| Inseparable, they even got sick together |
| They never got better… passed away that December |
| And left me with these memories like dyin' embers |
| From a dream I can’t remember… |
| Ever since then it’s like |
| Another day deeper in debt with different dilemmas |
| The bodega’s a mess, I’ll be seeing less of Vanessa |
| Abuela I don’t know how I can keep it together! |
| Remember the story of your name… |
| It was engraved on a passing ship on the day your family came |
| Your father said «Usnavi, |
| That’s what we’ll name the baby.» |
| It really said «U.S. |
| Navy,» but hey… |
| I worked with what they gave me okay… |
| They’d be so proud of you today! |
| Then by the end of July |
| Uh huh, uh huh! |
| Uh huh, uh huh! |
| Out where the sea meets the sky! |
| No pare! |
| Sigue, sigue! |
| Think of the hundreds of stories |
| We’ll create |
| You and I! |
| Ay… |
| We’ll find your island— |
| I’ll find my island sky |
| Ay, find your island— |
| But whatever we do it’s— |
| You and I! |
