Song | Born In Puerto Rico |
Artist | Paul Simon |
Album | Songwriter |
作词 : Simon, Walcott | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
We came here when I was a child | |
Before I reached the age of sixteen | |
I was running with the gang and we were wild | |
He keeps looking but he don't recognize me. | |
Some guy from Lexington or Park | |
Red beans and rice from kitchen windows | |
Supper-time and the barrio is dark. | |
No one knows you like I do | |
Nobody can know your heart the way I do | |
No one can testify to all that you've been through | |
But I will. | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
And my blood is Taino | |
Spanish Caribbean my soul | |
We came here wearing summer clothes in winter | |
Hearts of sunshine in the cold | |
Your family rented this apartment | |
You'd watch the street lamps from your perch | |
In the sacramental hour your stepfather in black | |
Preached the fire of the Pentecostal Church | |
No one knows you like I do | |
Nobody can know your heart the way I do | |
No one can testify to all that you've been through | |
But this will. | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
Came here when I was a child. | |
Small change and sunlight, then I left these streets | |
for good. | |
My days as short as they were wild. | |
I'm Carlos Apache | |
Angel Soto | |
Frenchy Cordero | |
Babu Charlie Cruz | |
Your features blurred in every grainy photo | |
And fading headline of the Daily News | |
Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children | |
Auburn, Brooklyn House of D., | |
Dannemora, Sing-Sing, Attica, | |
Greenhaven | |
Twenty years inside, today you're free. | |
You cannot even read your story | |
The pages piling up in shame | |
Before the words released you, the guard would | |
kill the light | |
The night you took The Capeman for your name. | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
I was born in Puerto Rico | |
Yo naci en Puerto Rico | |
Yo naci en Puerto Rico | |
Mi corazon es Puerto Rico | |
Mi alma es Puerto Rico |
