¿Cómo llegó este momento?
How did this moment come about?
El año pasa volando
The year flies by so quickly
Pero este mes siempre se va lento
But this month always drags on
Pasa serio y amenazando
It moves seriously, threatening
El cielo está oscureciendo
The sky is darkening
Y el viento ya está soplando
And the wind is already blowing
El mar se va enfureciendo
The sea is becoming furious
Y la montaña, rezando
And the mountain is praying
Ey, ta empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
Hey, it's starting to rain, it's gonna happen again
Por ahí viene tormenta, viene temporal
Here comes the storm, a tempest is coming
Ta empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
It's starting to rain, it's going to happen again
Por ahí viene tormenta, ¿quién nos va a salvar?
Here comes the storm, who’s going to save us?
Y que Dios proteja a Borinquen
And may God protect Borinquen
En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo
In the name of the Father, the Son
Y del Espíritu Santo, que Dios cuide mi canto
And the Holy Spirit, may God guard my song
No quiero toldo, quiero su manto, ey
I don't want a tarp, I want His cloak, hey
Obviamente la luz se va a ir
Obviously the light is going to go out
Sabrá Dios y nunca va a volver
Only God knows and it will never return
El puente que tardaron en construir
The bridge that took so long to build
El río crecío lo va a romper
The river has risen, it's going to break
Par de canciones guardada' en el cel
A couple of songs saved on my phone
Pa cuando se vaya la señal
For when the signal goes away
La señal ya se dio y no la quieren ver
The signal's already been given, but they don't want to see it
Falta que el boricua quiera despertar
Just waiting for the Puerto Rican to wake up
No olviden la viejita d'allí
Don't forget the old lady over there
Que vive sola, hay que irla a ayudar
Who lives alone, we need to go help her
Recuerden que to' somos de aquí
Remember, we all belong here
Al pueblo el pueblo le toca salvar
It's up to the people to save the town
Con el gobierno no me envíen na
Don't send me anything from the government
Que esos cabrones lo van a esconder
Those bastards are going to hide it
Van pa la calle, pa fotos na má'
They're going to the street, just for pictures
Por mí, toítos se pueden joder
As for me, they can all get messed up
Fueron cinco mil que dejaron morir
It was five thousand that they let die
Y eso nunca se nos va a olvidar
And that we will never forget
La palma en la que quieren ahorcar el país
The palm tree they want to hang the country on
Un día de esto' la vamo a tumbar
One of these days we're going to knock it down
Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga, no
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga, no
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga, no
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
Que no venga, no, pero
Let it not come, no, but
Ta empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
It's starting to rain, it's gonna happen again
Por ahí viene tormenta, quizás huracán
A storm is coming, maybe a hurricane
Ta empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
It's starting to rain, it's gonna happen again
Por ahí viene tormenta, ¿quién nos va a salvar?
A storm is coming, who is going to save us?
Dime si la quieres pasar conmigo
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Dime si la quieres pasar conmigo
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Dime si la quieres pasar conmigo, eh-eh
Tell me if you want to spend it with me, eh-eh
Pa no dormir solito', dormir abrazao'
So I don't sleep alone, sleep embraced
A mí na me da miedo si tú stas a mi lao
I’m not afraid if you’re by my side
Prende una velita pa ver tu carita
Light a little candle to see your face
Antes de acostarme
Before I go to bed
Toy esperando a que salga el sol
I'm waiting for the sun to rise
A que salga el sol
For the sun to rise
Va a salir el sol
The sun is going to rise
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Toy esperando a que salga el sol
I'm waiting for the sun to rise
A que salga el sol
For the sun to rise
Va a salir el sol
The sun is going to rise
