No te vayas
Si me dejas
Si te alejas de mรญ
Seguirรกs en mis recuerdos para siempre
Para siempre
Para siempre
Para sie- para sie-
Para siempre
Lights up in Washington Heights
And now the crack of dawn
I pack as life goes on
And on, and on (para siempre)
Time to go, but I'm doing the math
On this cash money
To have Sonny stay on his path (para siempre)
Abuela really wanted me up on a beach
With margaritas in my reach
And soon that's how it's gonna be (para siempre)
And look at me, leaving today
On a seven forty-seven boarding JFK
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
(Good morning)
The hydrants are open (piragua, piragua)
Cool breezes blow (new block of ice, piragua)
So sweet and nice, piragua. Piragua, piragua
(Good morning!)
Piragua, piragua (siempre)
New block of ice, piragua (cool breezes blow)
Seguirรกs en mis recuerdos para siempre (piragua, piragua)
Piragua, piragua (siempre)
I'll be downtown (cool breezes blow)
So sweet and nice, piragua (Seguirรกs en mis recuerdos)
It won't be long now! (Para siempre)
There's a breeze off the Hudson
Just when you think you're sick of living here
The memory floods in
The morning light off the fire escapes
The nights at Bennett Park blasting Big Pun tapes
I'ma miss this place to tell you the truth
Kevin, dispensing wisdom from his dispatch booth
And at dawn, Vanessa at the salon
We gotta move on
Who's gonna notice we're gone?
When our job's done
As the evening winds down to a crawl, son
Can I ease my mind when we're all done?
When we've resigned in the long run
What do we leave behind?
Most of all, I'll miss abuela's whispers
Doing the Lotto Pick Six every Christmas
In five years when this whole city's rich folks and hipsters
Who's gonna miss this raggedy little business?
Hey, you
Hey!
Do you have two minutes?
You said you wanted to see the world through my eyes, right?
Yeah
Come with me
He hates it
Shh
He's forming an artistic opinion
You did this last night?
Yeah
There goes my flight
What?
Graffiti Pete, you gonna need some new cans
Here's some money
Finish up
There's been a slight change of plans
Nice!
Listen up, guys
You got a job
I'm not playing
You gotta go now
Tell the whole block I'm staying
Go ahead, tell everyone we know
Sonny...
Alright, go!
Yeah, I'm a streetlight
Chilling in the heat
I illuminate the stories of the people in the street
Some have happy endings
Some are bittersweet
But I know them all
And that's what makes my life complete (we're home)
And if not me, who keeps our legacy?
Who's gonna keep the coffee sweet with secret recipes
Abuela, rest in peace
You live in my memories
But Sonny's gotta eat
This corner is my destiny (we're home)
Brings out the best in me
We pass the test and we keep pressin'
And yes, indeed
You know I'll never leave
If you close your eyes that hydrant is a beach
That siren is a breeze
The fire escape's a leaf on a palm tree (we're home)
Abuela, I'm sorry
But I ain't going back because I'm telling your story
And I can't say good-bye to you smilin'
I found my island
I've been on it this whole time, I'm home (we're home)
(The hydrants are open, cool breezes blow)
It's a wonderful life that I've known
Merry Christmas, you ole' Building and Loan
I'm home!
(The hydrants are open, cool breezes blow)
Abuela, that ain't a stoop
That's your throne
Long after your birds have all flown
I'm home! (We're home)
Where the coffee's non-stop
And I drop this hip-hop
In my mom and pop shop
I'm home (we're home)
Where people come
People go
Let me show all of these people what I know
There's no place like home
And let me set the record straight
I'm steppin' to Vanessa
I'm getting a second date
I'm home!
Where it's a hundred in the shade
But with patience and faith
We remain unafraid
I'm home!
You hear the music in the street?
Take the train to the top of the world
I'm there
I'm home!
(Home!)
