USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA More
USNAVI Yo! I know just where to go There's a little beach named Playa Rincon With no roads, you need a rowboat or motorbike To reach this beach and it's a stone's throw from home My folks' home Before I was born Before they passed on And left me on my own, in New York, with the grocery store They would talk about home I listened closely for the way they whispered to each other 'Bout the warmer winter weather Inseparable, they even got sick together But they never got better Passed away that December And left me with these memories like dyin embers From a dream I can't remember Ever since then it's like another day deeper in debt With different dilemmas, The bodega's a mess I'll be seeing less of Vanessa Abuela, I don't know how I can keep it together
ABUELA CLAUDIA Remember the story of your name It was engraved on a passing ship on the day your family came You father said "Usnavi" That's what we'll name the baby
USNAVI It really said "US Navy," but hey I worked with what they gave me okay
ABUELA CLAUDIA They'd be so proud of you today
USNAVI Then by the end of July
ABUELA CLAUDIA Uh huh uh huh Uh huh uh huh
USNAVI Out where the sea meets the sky
ABUELA CLAUDIA No pare sigue sigue!
USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA Think of the hundreds of stories we'll create You and I
