USNAVI Abuela ABUELA CLAUDIA Are you okay? ABUELA CLAUDIA/USNAVI Paciencia y fe! Paciencia y fe! USNAVI Let me see it again ABUELA CLAUDIA We kept it safe USNAVI So we survived the night, what happens today? ABUELA CLAUDIA A third for you USNAVI Uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh ABUELA CLAUDIA A third for me USNAVI No pare sigue sigue ABUELA CLAUDIA The rest for Sonny- And with our share of the money And with our share of the money- Dream of the seaside air See me beside you there Think of the hundreds of stories we will share You and I USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA Ay ABUELA CLAUDIA Now you can sell your store Open a bar by the shore I've told you hundreds of stories about home Make some more USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA More USNAVI Yo! I know just where to go There's a little beach named Playa Rincon With no roads, you need a rowboat or motorbike To reach this beach and it's a stone's throw from home My folks' home Before I was born Before they passed on And left me on my own, in New York, with the grocery store They would talk about home I listened closely for the way they whispered to each other 'Bout the warmer winter weather Inseparable, they even got sick together But they never got better Passed away that December And left me with these memories like dyin embers From a dream I can't remember Ever since then it's like another day deeper in debt With different dilemmas, The bodega's a mess I'll be seeing less of Vanessa Abuela, I don't know how I can keep it together ABUELA CLAUDIA Remember the story of your name It was engraved on a passing ship on the day your family came You father said "Usnavi" That's what we'll name the baby USNAVI It really said "US Navy," but hey I worked with what they gave me okay ABUELA CLAUDIA They'd be so proud of you today USNAVI Then by the end of July ABUELA CLAUDIA Uh huh uh huh Uh huh uh huh USNAVI Out where the sea meets the sky ABUELA CLAUDIA No pare sigue sigue! USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA Think of the hundreds of stories we'll create You and I ABUELA CLAUDIA Ay We'll find your island- USNAVI My island sky ABUELA CLAUDIA Ay, find your island- USNAVI And whatever we do it's USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA You and I!
