Una Velita

How did we get to this moment?
The year flies by so fast
But this month always drags on
It feels serious and threatening

The sky is getting darker
And the wind is starting to blow
The sea is getting furious
And the mountain is praying

Hey, it's starting to rain, it's gonna happen again
Here comes the storm, it's gonna be rough
It's starting to rain, it's gonna happen again
Here comes the storm, who’s gonna save us?

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
(And may God protect Borinquen)
(In the name of the Father, the Son)

And the Holy Spirit, may God watch over my song
I don’t want a tent, I want His cloak, hey

Obviously, the light is gonna go out
God knows if it’ll ever come back
The bridge they took forever to build
The river’s grown, it’s gonna break it

A couple of songs saved on my phone
For when the signal goes out
The signal’s already gone and they don’t want to see it
It’s just that the Puerto Rican needs to wake up

Don’t forget the old lady over there
Who lives alone, we gotta help her
Remember we’re all from here
The town needs to save the town
With the government, don’t send me anything
'Cause those bastards are gonna hide it

They’re going out for photos, that’s all
As for me, they can all go to hell
Five thousand were left to die
And that’s something we’ll never forget
The palm tree they want to hang the country from
One of these days, we’re gonna bring it down

And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it doesn’t come, no
And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it doesn’t come, no
And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it doesn’t come, no
Let it not come, no, but

It’s starting to rain, it’s gonna happen again
Here comes the storm, maybe a hurricane
It’s starting to rain, it’s gonna happen again
Here comes the storm, who’s gonna save us?

Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Tell me if you want to spend it with me, eh-eh

So I don’t have to sleep alone, sleep embraced
I’m not scared if you’re by my side
Light a little candle to see your face before I go to bed

I’m waiting for the sun to come out
For the sun to come out
The sun’s gonna come out, ah-ah
I’m waiting for the sun to come out
For the sun to come out
The sun’s gonna come out
