Born in Puerto Rico

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But I will[00:01:10]

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

Spanish Caribbean my soul[00:01:20]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But this will[00:02:22]

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

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

Small change and sunlight[00:02:36]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was born in Puerto Rico[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]
