Текст песни Carnaval Del Barrio (Andrea Burns) с переводом

DANIELA

Hey… Hey…

What’s this tonteria that I’m seeing on the street?

I never thought I’d see the day…

Since when are Latin people scared of heat?

When i was a little girl

growing up in the hills of Vega Alta

my favorite time of year was Chrstmas time!

Ask me why!

CARLA

Why?

DANIELA

There wasn’t an ounce of snow

But, oh, the coquito would flow

As we sang the aguinaldo

The carnaval would begin to grow!

Business is closed, and we’re about to go…

Let’s have a carnaval del barrio!

PIRAGUA GUY

Wepa!

DANIELA

Come and join the parranda

Carnaval

Del barrio CARLA

Ohh, me me me, Dani I have a question

I don’t know what you’re cantando

DANIELA

Just make it up as you go

We are improvisando:

Lai le lo lai lo le lo lai

You can sing anything

CARLA

Wha?

Carla, whatever pops into your head

Just so long as you sing

CARLA

Ummm…

My mom is Dominican-Cuban

My dad is from Chile and P.R.,

which means:

I’m Chile-…Dominica-Rican!

But I always say I’m from Queens!

PIRAGUA GUY

Wepaaa!

DANIELA THEN COMMUNITY

Carnaval

Del barrio VANESSA

Yo!

Why is everyone so happy?

We are sweating and we have no power

I’ve gotta get out of here soon

This block’s getting worse by the hour!

You can’t even go to the club with a friend

Without having somebody shove you!

DANIELA

Ay, por favor

Vanessa don’t pretend that Usnavi’s your friend

We all know that he love you!

COMMUNITY

Ohhhh!!!

CARLA

Wow, now that you mention that sexual tension, it’s easy to see!

VANESSA

Yo this is bogus…

DANIELA

Haven’t you noticed you get all your coffee for free?

Here comes Usnavi!

USNAVI

Yo, yo, yo y-y-yo-yo

Now, now, everyone gather 'round, sit down, listen,

I got an announcement

Wow, it involves large amounts, it’s

Somewhere in the range of 96, 000

Atencion, I’m closing shop

Sonny, grab everybody a soda pop!

Yo, grab a bottle, kiss it up to God,

Cuz Abuela Claudia just won the lotto!

Abuela Claudia won the lotto

We’re bookin a flight for D.R. tomorrow

Whoo!

SONNY

Listen up, this is what ya’ll want?

We close this bodega,

The neighborhood is gone!

They selling the dispatch,

They closing the salon

And they’ll never turn the lights back on cuz-

WITH VANESSA

We are powerless,

We are powerless!

But ya’ll keep dancin' and singin' and celebratin'

But it’s gettin' late and this place is disintegratin' and-

WITH VANESSA

We are powerless,

We are powerless!

Alright we are powerless, so light up a candle!

There’s nothing going on here that we can’t handle!

SONNY

You don’t understand, I’m not trying to be funny!

USNAVI

We’re gonna give a third of the money to you, Sonny!

SONNY

What?

USNAVI

Yeah, yeah…

SONNY

For real?

USNAVI

Yes!

Maybe you’re right, Sonny.

Call in the coroners

Maybe we’re powerless, a corner full of foreigners.

Maybe this neighborhood’s changing forever

Maybe tonight is our last night together, however!

How do you wanna face it?

Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it?

Y’all could cry with your head in the sand

I’m a fly this flag that I got in my hand!
