Puerto Rico [DVD; Live; Version]
Wake up Angelita, your mama just turned off the light
Manolo is already waiting by the old water-pipe
Her shoes in one hand she carefully walks down the stairs
Holding her breath â??cause thereâ??s danger and love in the air.
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
Begging the Virgin wonâ??t help when you hear Manolito shout,
Manolito shout
Heâ??s already standing under the starlit sky
You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
He says heâ??ll be leaving you soon still you beg him to stay
But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.
And though heâ??ll be far he promises heâ??ll write every day
When time will be right, heâ??ll come back and heâ??ll take you away
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe Puerto Rico
Your papa donâ??t like him, he says heâ??s no good
He steals and he fights and he never behaves, like a young man should
Angelita she knows, heâ??s not that bad inside
She takes the medal, she wears on a chain, and presses it into his palm.
