Paul Simon - Born in Puerto Rico слова песни
SalvadorI was born in puerto ricoWe came here when I was a childBefore I reached the age of sixteenI was running with the gang and we were wildHe keeps looking but he dont recognize me.Some guy from lexington or parkRed beans and rice from kitchen windowsSupper-time and the barrio is dark.No one knows you like I doNobody can know your heart the way I doNo one can testify to all that youve been throughBut I will.Sal & the vampiresI was born in puerto ricoAnd my blood is tainoSpanish caribbean my soulSalvadorWe came here wearing summer clothes in winterHearts of sunshine in the coldYour family rented this apartmentYoud watch the street lamps from your perchIn the sacramental hour your stepfather in blackPreached the fire of the pentecostal churchNo one knows you like I doNobody can know your heart the way I doNo one can testify to all that youve been throughBut this will.Sal & the vampiresI was born in puerto ricoCame here when I was a child.SalvadorSmall change and sunlight, then I left these streets for good.My days as short as they were wild.Carlos apacheIm carlos apacheAngel sotoAngel sotoFrenchy corderoFrenchy corderoBabu charlie cruzBabu charlie cruzSalvadorYour features blurred in every grainy photoAnd fading headline of the daily newsWiltwyck school for criminal childrenAuburn, brooklyn house of d.,Dannemora, sing-sing, attica,GreenhavenSalvadorTwenty years inside, today youre free.You cannot even read your storyThe pages piling up in shameBefore the words released you, the guard would kill the lightThe night you took the capeman for your name.ChorusI was born in puerto ricoI was born in puerto ricoI was born in puerto ricoI was born in puerto ricoI was born in puerto ricoI was born in puerto ricoI was born in puerto ricoI was born in puerto ricoLazarusYo nac en puerto ricoYo nac en puerto ricoMi corazn es puerto ricoMi alma es puerto ricoLead vocal, acoustic guitar-paul simonCoro vocal-danny riveraBackground vocal-ray de la pazBackground vocal-nestor sanchezPiano, synthesizer-oscar hernandezTres, plenaro-nelson gonzalezCuatro-edgardo mirandaGuitar-vincent nguiniBass-john bealDrums-robby ameenBongos, cymbal-bobby allendeTimbales, congas, cua-marc quinonesTrumpet-1st solo-david rodriguezTrumpet-2nd solo-ray vegaViola-juliet hafnerFlute-oriente lopezFrench horn-stewart roseOboe-marcia butlerOrchestration-stanley silverman
