Abuelita abuelita no llore mas
Abuelita abuelita en su vida
praying for paz
How did you feel before getting on that avion
English weak but your faith strong as back bearing jibaro
burden
Decade after decade world turning always towards sunny
manana
Hustle your way through factorias
Sowing lace luxury undergarments by day
By night open and shut down the Copa
Una mujer en la ciudad
Bailando until breakadawn
Ritmo mas profundo makes you sing along
Release all that pena each song
Large family in small apartments
Dreams squeezed into roach motel railroad
Prewar buildings born for arson insurance
Drama kept you moving
Hard to preach Que Pasa Power
When children are starving
Cornflakes with water
Ketchup sandwich bacalaito for breakfast
Yucca for dinner
May the Lord be with you always
We feeble fellow sinners
Don’t pass judgement on next brother
Who knows when emptiness will be fulfilled
Grandma’s hands crotchet Lares flag
Collecting dust in back of closet
Let tumbleweeds push past parched desert
Constant conversation with Dios
From your blessed mouth to beloved ears
On your side no boogieman to fear
Except monsters you been created
Image of Beetlejuice don’t say name 3 times
Appear instantly behind bad memories
Distraction is contagious
Top of head to bottom of toes
Become your holy gospel before eyes close
Shielding you from hood frights
City skyline in broken distance
Bedroom looking at Rikers Riverside
Hardwired to hold on to hope
Kiss your bony knuckles to knock out negativity
Followed by heavenly trinity
Echandolo Pa’lante never polite
Your smile is a kite
Flying from highest cascada en el Yunque
Able to see Guzman Abajo
And look up at confianza constellations
Forever watching
