Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya 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 theres danger and love in the air.
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
Begging the Virgin wont help when you hear Manolito shout,
Manolito shout
Hes already standing
Under the starlit sky
You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
He says hell be leaving you soon and you beg him to stay
But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.
And though hell be far he promises hell write every day
When time will be right, hell come back and hell take you away
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Your papa dont like him, he says hes no good
He steals and he fights and he never behaves, like a young man should
Like a young man should
Angelita, she knows, don't cry, Angelita
Hes not that bad inside
She takes the medal, she wears on a chain, and presses it into his palm.
Hell come back and hell take you
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
Aya aya aya aya aya aya Puerto Rico
