¿Cómo llegó este momento? El año pasa volando Pero este mes siempre se va lento Pasa serio y amenazando El cielo está oscureciendo Y el viento ya está soplando El mar se va enfureciendo Y la montaña rezando
Ey, 'tá empezando a llover Otra ve' va a pasar Por ahí viene tormenta Viene temporal 'Tá empezando a llover Otra ve' va a pasar Por ahí viene tormenta ¿Quién nos va a salvar?
Y que Dios proteja a Borinquen En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo
Y del Espíritu Santo Que Dios cuide mi canto No quiero toldo, quiero su manto, ey Obviamente la luz se va a ir Sabrá Dios y nunca va a volver El puente que tardaron en construir El río crecío' lo va a romper Par de cancione' guardá' en el cel Pa' cuando se vaya la señal La señal ya se dio y no la quieren ver Falta que el boricua quiera despertar No olviden la viejita de allí Que vive sola, hay que irla a ayudar Recuerden que to' somo' de aquí Al pueblo el pueblo le toca salvar Con el gobierno no me envíen na' Que esos cabrone' lo van a esconder Van pa' la calle, pa' fotos na' má' Por mi toditos se pueden joder Fueron cinco mil que dejaron morir Y eso nunca se nos va a olvidar La palma en la que quieren ahorcar el país Un día de estos la vamo' a tumbar
Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga Que no venga, pero
'Tá empezando a llover Otra ve' va a pasar Por ahí viene tormenta Quizás huracán 'Tá empezando a llover Otra ve' va a pasar Por ahí viene tormenta ¿Quién nos va a salvar?
Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo, eh Pa' no dormir solito' Dormir abrazao' A mí na' me da miedo Si tú 'tás a mi la'o Prende una velita Pa' ver tu carita Antes de acostarme
'Toy esperando a que salga el sol A que salga el sol Va a salir el sol, ah 'Toy esperando a que salga el sol A que salga el sol Va a salir el sol
How did this moment come? The year flies by But this month always goes slow It passes serious and threatening The sky is darkening And the wind is already blowing The sea is becoming furious And the mountain is praying
Hey, it's starting to rain It's going to happen again A storm is coming A temporal is coming It's starting to rain It's going to happen again A storm is coming Who will save us?
And may God protect Borinquen In the name of the Father, the Son And the Holy Spirit May God take care of my song I don't want a tent, I want His cloak, hey Obviously, the light is going to go out Only God knows if it will ever return The bridge that took so long to build The river has risen and will break it A couple of songs saved on my phone For when the signal goes out The signal has already been given and they don't want to see it It's up to the Puerto Rican to wake up Don't forget the old lady over there Who lives alone, we need to go help her Remember we all belong here The people need to save the people Don't send me anything from the government Because those bastards are going to hide it They go out into the street, just for photos They can all go to hell for me They let five thousand die And we will never forget that The palm tree they want to hang the country from One day we're going to knock it down
And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it doesn't come And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it doesn't come And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it doesn't come That it doesn't come, but
It's starting to rain It's going to happen again A storm is coming Maybe a hurricane It's starting to rain It's going to happen again A storm is coming Who will 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 So I won't sleep alone Sleep hugging I'm not afraid 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 is going to come out, ah I'm waiting for the sun to come out For the sun to come out The sun is going to come out
