Текст песни West Side Story, Act I: "America" (Anita, Bernardo, the Sharks, Girls) (Johnny Green) с переводом

Rosalia

Puerto Rico

You lovely island. .

Island of tropical breezes

Always the pineapples growing

Always the coffee blossoms blowing. .

Anita

Puerto Rico. .

You ugly island. .

Island of tropic diseases

Always the hurricanes blowing

Always the population growing. .

And the money owing

And the babies crying

And the bullets flying

I like the island Manhattan

Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

Others

I like to be in America!

O.K. by me in America!

Ev’rything free in America

For a small fee in America!

Rosalia

I like the city of San Juan

Anita

I know a boat you can get on

Rosalia

Hundreds of flowers in full bloom

Anita

Hundreds of people in each room!

All

Automobile in America

Chromium steel in America

Wire-spoke wheel in America

Very big deal in America!

Rosalia

I’ll drive a Buick through San Juan

Anita

If there’s a road you can drive on

Rosalia

I’ll give my cousins a free ride

Anita

How you get all of them inside?

All

Immigrant goes to America

Many hellos in America;

Nobody knows in America

Puerto Rico’s in America!

Rosalia

I’ll bring a T.V. to San Juan

Anita

If there a current to turn on!

Rosalia

I’ll give them new washing machine

Anita

What have they got there to keep clean?

All

I like the shores of America!

Comfort is yours in America!

Knobs on the doors in America

Wall-to-wall floors in America!

Rosalia

When I will go back to San Juan

Anita

When you will shut up and get gone?

Rosalia

Everyone there will give big cheer!

Anita

Everyone there will have moved here!
