《Born in Puerto Rico》歌词

[00:00:00] Born In Puerto Rico - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)

[00:00:15] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:00:20] We came here when I was a child

[00:00:25] Before I reached the age of sixteen

[00:00:29] I was runnin' with the gang and we were wild

[00:00:37] He keeps lookin' but he don't recognize me

[00:00:42] Some guy from Lexington or Park

[00:00:47] Red beans and rice from kitchen windows

[00:00:51] It's supper time and the barrio is dark

[00:00:56] No one knows you like I do

[00:01:01] Nobody can know your heart the way I do

[00:01:06] No one can testify to all that you've been through

[00:01:10] But I will

[00:01:15] I was born in Puerto Rico and my blood is Taino

[00:01:20] Spanish Caribbean my soul

[00:01:25] We came here wearing summer clothes in winter

[00:01:29] Hearts of sunshine in the cold

[00:01:47] Your family rented this apartment

[00:01:52] You'd watch the street lamps from your perch

[00:01:57] In the sacramental hour your stepfather in black

[00:02:02] Preached the fire of the Pentecostal Church

[00:02:08] No one knows you like I do

[00:02:13] Nobody can know your heart the way I do

[00:02:17] No one to testify to all that you've been through

[00:02:22] But this will

[00:02:27] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:02:32] Came here when I was a child

[00:02:36] Small change and sunlight

[00:02:39] Then I left these streets for good

[00:02:42] My days as short as they were wild

[00:02:56] Your features blurred in every grainy photo

[00:03:00] And fading headline of the Daily News

[00:03:09] Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children

[00:03:13] Auburn Brooklyn House of D

[00:03:18] Dannemora Sing Sing Attica Greenhaven

[00:03:23] Twenty years inside today you're free

[00:03:28] You cannot even read your story

[00:03:33] The pages piling up in shame

[00:03:38] Before the words released you

[00:03:40] The guard would kill the light

[00:03:43] The night you took The Capeman for your name

[00:03:49] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:03:54] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:03:59] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:04:03] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:04:08] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:04:12] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:04:17] I was born in Puerto Rico

[00:04:22] I was born in Puerto Rico
