Song | It Won’t Be Long Now |
Artist | Lin-Manuel Miranda |
Album | In the Heights (Original Broadway Cast Recording) |
[00:07.87] | The elevated train by my window |
[00:10.18] | Doesn’t faze me anymore |
[00:15.21] | The rattling screams don’t disrupt my dreams |
[00:18.66] | It’s a lullaby, in its way |
[00:22.53] | The elevated train drives everyone insane |
[00:25.98] | But I don’t mind, oh no |
[00:30.20] | When I bring back boys they can’t tolerate the noise |
[00:33.85] | And that’s okay, 'cause I never let them stay |
[00:37.34] | And one day, I’m hoppin’ that elevated train and I’m riding away! |
[00:46.28] | It won’t be long now! |
[00:51.16] | The boys around the way holler at me when I’m walking down the street |
[00:58.50] | Their machismo pride doesn’t break my stride— |
[01:01.83] | It’s a compliment, so they say |
[01:05.43] | The boys around the way holler at me every day but I don’t mind, oh no |
[01:13.70] | If I’m in the mood, it will not be with some dude |
[01:16.74] | Who is whistling 'cause he has nothing to say |
[01:20.53] | Or who’s honking at me from his Chevrolet! |
[01:23.82] | And one day… I’m hoppin’ in a limousine and I’m driving away! |
[01:32.22] | It won’t be long now! |
[01:36.10] | Ay, Usnavi, help! SOS! |
[01:38.96] | Good morning, Vanessa! |
[01:43.22] | If it isn’t the loveliest girl in the place... |
[01:48.10] | You’ve got some schmutz on your face |
[01:54.22] | Good morning! |
[01:55.70] | Good morning! |
[01:59.98] | Vanessa! |
[02:03.47] | Vanessa! |
[02:07.28] | Vanessa! |
[02:11.41] | VANESSSSSAAAAAA! I’m thirsty, co?o! |
[02:16.13] | Can I get a Pepsi and some packing tape? |
[02:18.34] | Uh, my cousin over there with his tongue hanging out, has been meaning to ask you… |
[02:23.61] | Yes? |
[02:24.37] | What a lady such as yourself might be doing tonight? |
[02:29.16] | Does your cousin dance? |
[02:33.90] | Like a drunk Chita Rivera.? |
[02:35.57] | Okay… After Nina’s dinner, we can hit a few clubs and check out the fireworks… |
[02:44.90] | Oh snap! Who’s that? |
[02:45.65] | Don’t touch me, I’m too hot! Yes! |
[02:47.56] | Qué pasó? Here I go! |
[02:49.24] | So dope! Y tu lo sabes! |
[02:51.50] | No pare |
[02:51.69] | Sigue sigue! |
[02:52.92] | Did you see me? |
[02:53.62] | Freaky freakit! |
[02:54.90] | What a way to begin the weekend |
[02:56.44] | Sonny, anything you want is free, man! |
[02:58.37] | And my dearly beloved Dominican Republic |
[03:00.86] | I haven’t forgotten |
[03:01.54] | You! |
[03:01.96] | Gonna see this honey, make a little money |
[03:04.75] | And one day I’ll hop Jet |
[03:05.44] | Blue! |
[03:05.91] | But until that fateful day, I’m grateful |
[03:07.57] | I got a destination |
[03:09.99] | I’m runnin’ to make it home |
[03:11.36] | And home’s what Vanessa’s runnin’ away from! |
[03:13.86] | I’m runnin’ to make it home |
[03:15.38] | And home’s what Vanessa’s runnin’ away from… |
[03:18.13] | The neighborhood salon is the place I am working for the moment |
[03:26.78] | As I cut their hair, ladies talk and share— |
[03:31.29] | Every day, who’s doin' who and why... |
[03:36.38] | The neighborhood salon doesn’t pay me what I wanna be making but I don’t mind |
[03:46.48] | As I sweep the curb I can hear those turbo engines blazing a trail through the sky |
[03:57.20] | I look up and think about the years gone by |
[04:01.87] | But one day—I’m walkin’ to JFK and I’m gonna fly! |
[04:14.44] | It won’t be long now! |
[04:20.20] | Any day... |
