Finale

No te vayas Si me dejas Si te alejas de mí Seguirás en mis recuerdos Para siempre Para siempre Para siempre Para siem- Para siem-, para siempre Lights up on Washington Heights And now the crack of dawn I pack up as life goes on and on and on Para siempre Time to go, but I'm doing the math On this cash money to have Sonny stay on his path Para siempre Abuela really wanted me up on a beach With margaritas in my reach, and Soon that's how it's gonna be Para siempre And look at me, leavin' today On a seven-forty-seven boardin' JFK The hydrants are open Cool breezes blow The hydrants are open Cool breezes blow ¡Piragua, piragua! (good morning) (the hydrants are open) New block of ice, ¡piragua! (cool breezes blow) So sweet and nice, piragua! ¡Piragua, piragua! ¡Piragua, piragua! (siempre) (the hydrants are open) New block of ice, ¡piragua! (cool breezes blow) So sweet and nice, piragua! (Seguirás en mis recuerdos) ¡Piragua, piragua! (para siempre) ¡Piragua, piragua! (siempre) (the hydrants are open) New block of ice, ¡piragua! (cool breezes blow) So sweet and nice, piragua! (Seguirás en mis recuerdos) (it won't be long now) ¡Piragua, piragua! (para siempre) There's a breeze off the Hudson And just when you think You're sick of living here the memory floods in The morning light, off the fire escapes The nights in Bennett Park blasting Big Pun tapes I'm 'a miss this place, to tell you the truth Kevin dispensin' wisdom from his dispatch booth And at dawn, Vanessa at the salon, we gotta move on But who's gonna notice we're gone? When our job's done, as the evening winds Down to a crawl, son, can I ease my mind When we're all done? When we've resigned In the long run, what do we leave behind? Most of all, I'll miss Abuela's whispers Doin' the Lotto Pick Six every Christmas In five years, when this whole city's rich folks and hipsters Who's gonna miss this raggedy little business? Hey, you Hey Do you have two minutes? You said you wanted to see the world through my eyes, right? Yeah Come with me He hates it Shh, he's forming an artistic opinion You did this last night? Yeah There goes my flight What? Graffiti Pete you're gonna need some new cans Here's some money, finish up There's been a slight change of plans! (Nice!) Listen up guys, you got a job, I'm not playin' You gotta go now, tell the whole block I'm stayin'! Go ahead, tell everyone we know! Sonny Alright, go! Yeah, I'm a streetlight! Chillin' in the heat! I illuminate the stories of the people in the street Some have happy endings Some are bittersweet But I know them all and that's what makes my life complete (We're home!) And if not me, who keeps our legacy? Who's gonna keep the coffee sweet with secret recipes? Abuela, rest in peace, you live in my memories But Sonny's gotta eat, this corner is my destiny (we're home!) Brings out the best in me, we pass a test and we Keep pressin' and yes indeed, you know I'll never leave If you close your eyes that hydrant is a beach That siren is a breeze, that fire escape's a leaf on a palm tree! (We're home!) Abuela I'm sorry But I ain't goin' back because I'm telling your story And I can say goodbye to you smilin', I found my island I been on it this whole time I'm home! (We're home!) The hydrants are open Cool breezes blow! It's a wonderful life that I've known "Merry Christmas you ole' Building and Loan!" I'm home! (We're home!) The hydrants are open Cool breezes blow! Abuela that ain't a stoop, that's your throne Long after ya birds have all flown I'm home! (We're home!) Where the coffee's non-stop And I drop this hip-hop In my mom and pop shop I'm home! (We're home!) Where people come People go Let me show all of these People what I know There's no place like home! (Home!) And let me set the record straight! I'm steppin' to Vanessa I'm gettin' a second date I'm home! Where it's a hundred in the shade But with patience and faith We remain unafraid I'm home! You hear that music in the air? Take the train to the top of the world I'm there I'm home! (Home!)
