Lyrics

[00:11.89] Abuela!
[00:14.70] Are you OK?
[00:16.22] Paciencia y fe!
[00:18.28] Paciencia y fe!
[00:21.70] Let me see it again!
[00:24.80] We kept it safe
[00:26.40] So we survived the night;
[00:28.66] What happens today?
[00:32.37] A third for you
[00:34.54] Uh huh, uh huh! Uh huh, uh huh!
[00:37.24] A third for me!
[00:39.68] No pare! Sigue, sigue!
[00:42.53] The rest for Sonny—
[00:47.24] And with our share of the money
[00:49.80] And with our share of the money—
[00:52.80] Dream of the seaside air!
[00:57.18] See me beside you there!
[01:01.95] Think of the hundreds of stories we will share!
[01:09.32] You and I!
[01:12.80] Ayy…
[01:15.13] Now you can sell your store!
[01:20.19] Open a bar by the shore!
[01:25.45] I’ve told you hundreds of stories
[01:29.38] About home; make some more
[01:35.95] More…
[01:38.68] Yo! I know just where to go!
[01:40.96] There’s a little beach named Playa Rincón
[01:43.58] With no road, you need a rowboat or motorbike
[01:46.80] To reach this beach, it’s just a stone’s throw
[01:48.88] From home
[01:49.64] My folks’ home
[01:50.74] Before I was born
[01:51.86] Before they passed on
[01:53.21] And left me on my own, in New York, with the grocery store
[01:56.45] They would talk about home, I listened closely for
[01:58.83] The way they whispered to each other
[02:00.34] ‘Bout the warmer winter weather
[02:01.87] Inseparable, they even got sick together
[02:04.52] They never got better… passed away that December
[02:07.24] And left me with these memories like dyin’ embers
[02:09.78] From a dream I can’t remember…
[02:11.50] Ever since then it’s like
[02:12.68] Another day deeper in debt with different dilemmas
[02:15.80] The bodega’s a mess, I’ll be seeing less of Vanessa
[02:17.91] Abuela I don’t know how I can keep it together!
[02:24.79] Remember the story of your name...
[02:29.15] It was engraved on a passing ship on the day your family came
[02:33.95] Your father said “Usnavi,?
[02:38.73] That’s what we’ll name the baby.”
[02:42.68] It really said “U.S. Navy,” but hey…
[02:48.47] I worked with what they gave me okay…
[02:53.64] They’d be so proud of you today!
[02:59.65] Then by the end of July
[03:02.55] Uh huh, uh huh! Uh huh, uh huh!
[03:04.50] Out where the sea meets the sky!
[03:07.73] No pare! Sigue, sigue!
[03:09.64] Think of the hundreds of stories
[03:13.41] We’ll create
[03:16.81] You and I!
[03:20.23] Ay…
[03:22.16] We’ll find your island—
[03:23.42] I’ll find my island sky
[03:25.48] Ay, find your island—
[03:28.78] But whatever we do it’s—
[03:30.83] You and I!
