Aqui No Me Quedo
Bobby Valentin
I Ain't Staying Here
I wish I could live, up high in the mountains
And have my cabin there, and then live happily
And be able to contemplate, the beauty of my country
Listen dear brothers, to what I have to say
Let's go to the mountains, let's go
To eat roasted pork
Or maybe a good stew
Well seasoned
Let's go to the mountains
I ain't staying here
What a shame to leave the train from south Paris
I ain't staying, I ain't staying here
I wish I could climb with Jesus and see from the mountain
And see the beauty of my country
Mom, Puerto Rico is calling me
How nice it would be to hear that coqui at night
And to wake up to the rooster crowing, look mom
I ain't staying, I ain't staying
I ain't staying, I ain't staying here
Let's cross the pond, yes
Puerto Rico is calling me to have fun
I wish to have my farm and my cabin and milk my cow
I'm Puerto Rican, buddy, and that's how I am
With my people eating stew at Chichi's house
And Pacheco walking around there
I ain't staying, I ain't staying
I ain't staying, I ain't staying here
I would regret if I hadn't been born there
I'm going to enjoy myself
