Carnaval Del Barrio

歌詞

Hey... Hey... What′s this tonteria that I'm seeing on the street? I never thought I′d see the day... Since when are Latin people scared of heat? When i was a little girl Growing up in the hills of Vega Alta My favorite time of year was Christmas time! Ask me why! Why? There wasn't an ounce of snow But, oh, the coquito would flow As we sang the aguinaldo The carnaval would begin to grow! Business is closed, and we're about to go... Let′s have a carnaval del barrio! Wepa! Carnaval del barrio! Carnaval del barrio! Carnaval... Carnaval! Del barrio... Barrio! Carnaval... Carnaval! Del barrio... Barrio! We don′t need electricidad Get off your butt, avanza Saca la maraca, bring your tambourine Come and join the parranda Carnaval, Del barrio Ohh, me me me, Dani I have a question I don't know what you′re cantando Just make it up as you go We are improvisando: Lai le lo lai lo le lo lai You can sing anything Wha? Carla, whatever pops into your head Just so long as you sing Ummm... My mom is Dominican-Cuban My dad is from Chile and P.R., Which means: I'm Chile-...Dominica-Rican! But I always say I′m from Queens! Wepaaa! Carnaval, Del barrio Why is everyone so happy? We are sweating and we have no power I've gotta get out of here soon This block′s getting worse by the hour! You can't even go to the club with a friend Without having somebody shove you! Ay, por favor Vanessa don't pretend that Usnavi′s your friend We all know that he love you! Wow, now that you mention that sexual tension, it′s easy to see! Yo this is bogus... Haven't you noticed you get all your coffee for free? Carnaval del barrio Del Barrio Here comes Usnavi! Yo, yo, yo y-y-yo-yo Now, now, everyone gather ′round, sit down, listen, I got an announcement Wow, it involves large amounts, it's Somewhere in the range of 96, 000 Atencion, I′m closing shop Sonny, grab everybody a soda pop! Yo, grab a bottle, kiss it up to God, Cuz Abuela Claudia just won the lotto! Abuela Claudia won the lotto We're bookin a flight for D.R. tomorrow Oh my gah! Alza la bandera La bandera Dominicana Alza la bandera La bandera Puertoriqueña Alza la bandera La bandera Mexicana Alza la bandera La bandera Cubana Parriba esa bandera Alzala donde quiera Recuerdo de mi tierra Me acuerdo de mi tierra... Esa bonita bandera! Contiene mi alma entera! Y cuando yo me muera, Entierrame en mi tierra! Everything changes today Usnavi′s on his way Off to a better place Look at Vanessa's face! Everything changes today... Goodbye, Mr. Rosario... Okay! I'm taking over the barrio! We′re getting out of the barrio! Hey, Mr. Benny, have you seen any horses today? Hey! What do you mean? I heard you and Nina went for a roll in the- Hay! Hey! Ohhhhh! Benny and Nina Sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G Que bochinche Nina and Benny K-I-S-S-I-N-G Hold up, wait a minute Usnavi′s leavin' us for the Dominican Republic? And Benny went and stole the girl that I′m in love with? She was my babysitter first! Listen up, this is what ya'll want? We close this bodega, The neighborhood is gone! They selling the dispatch, They closing the salon And they′ll never turn the lights back on cuz- We are powerless, We are powerless! But ya'll keep dancin′ and singin' and celebratin' But it′s gettin′ late and this place is disintegratin' and- We are powerless, We are powerless! Alright we are powerless, so light up a candle! There′s nothing going on here that we can't handle! You don′t understand, I'm not trying to be funny! We′re gonna give a third of the money to you, Sonny! What? Yeah, yeah... For real? Yes! Maybe you're right, Sonny. Call in the coroners Maybe we're powerless, a corner full of foreigners. Maybe this neighborhood′s changing forever Maybe tonight is our last night together, however! How do you wanna face it? Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it? Y′all could cry with your head in the sand I'm a fly this flag that I got in my hand! Parriba esa bandera Alzala donde quiera Can we raise our voice tonight? Can we make a little noise tonight? Esa bonita bandera Contiene mi alma entera In fact, can we sing so loud and raucous They can hear us across the bridge in East Seacaucus? Parriba esa bandera! Alzala donde quiera! From Puerto Rico to Santo Domingo Wherever we go We rep our people and the beat go... Esa bonita bandera! Contiene mi alma entera! Vanessa, for get about what coulda been Dance with me, one last night, in the hood again. Wepa! Carnaval del barrio Carnaval del barrio P′arriba esa bandera Oye! Y cuando yo me muera Entierrame en mi tierra! Alza la bandera La bandera Dominicana Alza la bandera Alza la bandera La bandera Puertoriquena Alza la bandera La bandera Mexicana Alza la bandera La bandera La bandera La bandera La bandera Alza la bandera!
