Una Velita
[Intro]
¿Cómo llegó este momento?
El año pasa volando
Pero este mes siempre se va lento
Pasa serio y amenazando
El cielo está oscureciendo
Y el viento ya está soplando
El mar se va enfureciendo
Y la montaña rezando
[Estribillo]
Ey, 'tá empezando a llover, otra ve' va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormenta, viene temporal
'Tá empezando a llover, otra ve' va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormеnta, ¿quién nos va a salvar?
[Post-Estribillo]
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Y que Dios proteja a Borinquen
En еl nombre del Padre, del Hijo
[Verso]
Y del Espíritu Santo, que Dios cuide mi canto
No quiero toldo, quiero su manto, ey
Obviamente la luz se va a ir, sabrá Dios y nunca va a volver
El puente que tardaron en construir, el río crecío' lo va a romper
Par de cancione' guardá' en el cel pa' cuando se vaya la señal
La señal ya se dio y no la quieren ver, falta que el boricua quiera despertar
No olviden la viejita de allí, que vive sola, hay que irla a ayudar
Recuerden que to' somo' de aquí, al pueblo el pueblo le toca salvar
Con el gobierno no me envíen na', que esos cabrone' lo van a esconder
Van pa' la calle, pa' fotos na' má', por mi toditos se pueden joder
Fueron cinco mil que dejaron morir y eso nunca se nos va a olvidar
La palma en la que quieren ahorcar el país un día de estos la vamo' a tumbar
[Pre-Estribillo]
Y ójala, y ójala, y ójala, y ójala que no venga, no
Y ójala, y ójala, y ójala, y ójala que no venga, no
Y ójala, y ójala, y ójala, y ójala que no venga, no
Que no venga, no, pero
[Estribillo]
'Tá empezando a llover, otra ve' va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormenta, quizás huracán
'Tá empezando a llover, otra ve' va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormenta, ¿quién nos va a salvar?
[Puente]
Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo
Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo
Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo, eh-eh
Pa' no dormir solito', dormir abrazao'
A mí na' me da miedo si tú 'tás a mi la'o
Prende una velita pa' ver tu carita antes de acostarme
[Outro]
'Toy esperando a que salga el sol
A que salga el sol
Va a salir el sol, ah-ah
'Toy esperando a que salga el sol
A que salga el sol
Va a salir el sol
ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM SPANISH:
[Intro]
How did this moment arrive?
The year flies by,
But this month always goes so slow.
It passes serious and threatening,
The sky is getting darker,
And the wind is already blowing.
The sea is growing angry,
And the mountain is praying.
[Chorus]
Hey, it's starting to rain, it'll happen again,
Here comes the storm, here comes the squall.
It's starting to rain, it'll happen again,
Here comes the storm, who's going to save us?
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
May God protect Borinquen,
In the name of the Father, the Son,
[Verse]
And the Holy Spirit, may God protect my song.
I don’t want a tarp, I want His cloak, hey.
Obviously, the power's going to go out, who knows, it may never come back.
The bridge they took so long to build, the swollen river's going to break it.
A couple of songs saved on my phone for when the signal goes out.
The signal has already been given, but they don't want to see it, it’s just that Boricuas need to wake up.
Don’t forget the old lady over there, she lives alone, we have to help her.
Remember, we’re all from here, it’s the people's job to save the people.
Don't send me anything with the government, because those bastards will just hide it.
They just hit the streets for photos, nothing more. They can all go to hell for all I care.
Five thousand they left to die, and we’ll never forget that.
The palm tree they want to hang the country from, one of these days we’ll cut it down.
[Pre-Chorus]
And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it won’t come, no.
And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it won’t come, no.
And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it won’t come, no.
That it won’t come, no, but
[Chorus]
It's starting to rain, it'll happen again,
Here comes the storm, maybe a hurricane.
It's starting to rain, it'll happen again,
Here comes the storm, who's going to save us?
[Bridge]
Tell me if you want to ride it out with me,
Tell me if you want to ride it out with me,
Tell me if you want to ride it out with me, eh-eh.
So we won’t sleep alone, we’ll sleep embraced.
Nothing scares me if you're by my side.
Light a little candle so I can see your face before I fall asleep.
[Outro]
I’m waiting for the sun to rise,
For the sun to rise.
The sun will rise, ah-ah.
I’m waiting for the sun to rise,
For the sun to rise.
The sun will rise.
