Vaya Con Dios - Puerto Rico lyrics
[Vaya Con Dios - Puerto Rico lyrics]
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
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 'cause there's danger
And love in the air
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
Begging the Virgin won't help while
You hear Manolito shout (Manolito shout)
He's already standing under the starlit sky
You run to his arms and you laugh and
You cry as he holds you tight
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
He says, he'll be leaving you soon and
You beg him to stay
But he wants to make it somewhere in the USA
And though he'll be far
He promises he'll write every day
When time will be right
He'll come back and he'll take you away
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Your papa don't like him
He says he's no good
He steals and he fights and he never
Behaves like a young man should
(Like a young man should)
Angelita she knows, he's not that bad inside
(Don't cry Angelita) she takes the medal
She wears on a chain and
Presses it into his palm
(He'll come back and take you)
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
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 'cause there's danger
And love in the air
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
Begging the Virgin won't help while
You hear Manolito shout (Manolito shout)
He's already standing under the starlit sky
You run to his arms and you laugh and
You cry as he holds you tight
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, Puerto Rico
