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]
