Puerto Rico

Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico  (x2) 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 when you'll 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  (x2)    instrum….. He says he'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 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 bahaves like a young man should  (like a young man should)    Angelita she knows    he's not bad inside She takes the medal    she wears on a chain   and presses it into his palm  (he'll come back and he'll take you ) Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico  ...
