Lyrics

[00:19.00] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[00:26.06] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[00:30.04]
[00:34.03] Wake up Angelita, your mama just turned off the light
[00:41.09] Manolo is already waiting by the old water-pipe
[00:49.07] Her shoes in one hand she carefully walks down the stairs
[00:57.05] Holding her breath 'cause there's danger and love in the air.
[01:02.02]
[01:05.03] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[01:13.00] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[01:17.08]
[01:21.02] Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
[01:28.02] Begging the Virgin won't help when you hear Manolito shout,
[01:33.07] (Manolito shout)
[01:38.08] He's already standing under the starlit sky
[01:45.05] You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight
[01:52.00]
[01:53.04] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[02:01.00] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[02:06.03]
[02:24.02] He says he'll be leaving you soon still you beg him to stay
[02:32.03] But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.
[02:40.00] And though he'll be far he promises he'll write every day
[02:47.06] When time will be right, he'll come back and he'll take you away
[02:53.03]
[02:55.05] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[03:03.02] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[03:08.01]
[03:11.08] Your papa don't like him, he says he's no good
[03:18.08] He steals and he fights and he never behaves, like a young man should
[03:28.08] Angelita she knows, he's not that bad inside
[03:35.05] She takes the medal, she wears on a chain, and presses it into his palm.
[03:40.04]
[03:44.04] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[03:51.08] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[03:59.07] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[04:07.05] Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
[04:12.08]
[04:17.04] END
