TEMPORAL
(Live in concert early ninties & shown in One Night Only with the children)

Temporal, temporal!
Ay ya viene el temporal
Temporal, temporal!
Ay ya viene el temporal

¡Qué sera de mi Borinquen!
Cuando llegue el temporal?

Temporal, temporal!
Ay ay viene el temporal!

Encontraron una niña
En las orillas del mar
Y decía la pobrecita:
"Mi mamita, ¿dónde estás?"

Temporal, temporal!
Ay ya viene el temporal
Temporal, temporal!
Ay ya viene el temporal

Hurricane, hurricane!
Ay, the hurricane is coming
Hurrice, hurricane!
Ay, the hurricane is coming

What will be of Puerto Rico
When the hurricane comes?

Hurrican, hurrica!
Ay, the hurricane is coming!

They found a little girl
On the shore of the ocean
And the poor little girl was saying
"My mommy, where are you?

Hurricane, hurricane!
Ay, the hurricane is coming
Hurrice, hurricane!
Ay, the hurricane is coming

SOUL MAN

Comin' to ya on a dusty road
Good lovin' I got a truck load
And when you get it you got something
So don't worry cause I'm coming

I'm a soul man (x4)

Got what I got the hard way
And I'll make it better each and every day
So honey don't you fret
Cause you ain't seen nothing yet

I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated from good stock
When I start lovin' I just can't stop

Well grab the rope and I'll pull you in
Give you hope and be your only boyfriend

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

You're a soul man

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

LET IT BE / YESTERDAY / I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND / HEY JUDE
(Beatles concert medley Me Amaras Concert - Acapulco - Vina del Mar)

When I find myself in trouble
I say Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hours of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be.
Love me 'til tomorrow, let it be.

…………………….

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say.
I said something's wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say.
I said something's wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

…………………….

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that, my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide

Well, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

…………………….

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Na na na na na na na na na....

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her (into) your skin
Then you begin to make it better

La,lala lalala la, lalala la, Hey Jude
La,lala lalala la, lalala la, Hey Jude
La,lala lalala la, lalala la, Hey Jude

CUMBANCHERO / LOS CARRETEROS / CAPULLITO DE ANHELÍ /
PRECIOSA / LAMENTO BORINCANO
(Medley of Rafaél Hernández songs)

A cumba-cumba-cumba cumbanchero
A bongo-bongo-bongo bongocero
Pri-qui-ti que va sonando
El cumbanchero bongocero
que se va
Bongocero que se va

A cumba-cumba-cumba cumbanchero
A bongo-bongo-bongo bongocero
Pri-qui-ti que va sonando
El cumbanchero bongocero
que se va
Bongocero que se va

Y suena asi el tambor:
pri-qui-ti bum-bam
Y vuelve a repicar:
pri-qui-ti bum-bam

A cumba-cumba-cumba cumbanchero
A bongo-bongo-bongo bongocero
Pri-qui-ti que va sonando
El cumbanchero bongocero
que se va
Bongocero que se va

.........................

Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le
Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le

Se oye el coqui
Se va a dormir
Quien sabe que
Que te hace cerca la aurora
Y el mozambique lo adora

Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le
Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le

Se oye un cantar
En el trullao
En el guamá
Y el jibarito
en su bohío
A la orillita del río

Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le
Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le

Que lindo es cuando amanece
Y que linda es la mañana
Dios te bendiga mil veces
Oh, mi tierra borincana...

.........................

Ay, amor ya no me quieras tanto
Ay, amor no sufras
mas por mí
Si no mas puedo causarte llanto
Ay, amor olvidate de mí

Me da pena
que sigas sufriendo
Tu amor desesperado
Yo quisiera que tu te encontraras
De nuevo otro querer

Otro ser
que te brinde la dicha
Que yo no te di tanto
Y poder alejarme de ti
Para nunca mas volver

Ay, amor ya no me quieras tanto
Ay, amor no sufras
mas por mí
Si no mas puedo causarte
llanto
Ay, amor olvidate de mí

.........................

Lindo capullo de alhelí
Si tu supieras mi dolor
Correspondieras a mi amor
Y calmaras mi sufrir

Porque tu sabes que sin tí
La vida es nada para mí
Tu bien lo sabes
Capullito de alhelí

No hay
en el mundo para mí
Otro capullo de alhelí
Que yo le brinde mi pasión
Y que le de mi corazón

Tu solo eres la mujer
A quien le dado mi querer
Y te brinde lindo alhelí
Fidelidad hasta morir

Por eso yo te canto a tí
Mi capullito de alhelí
Dame tu aroma seductor
Y un poquito de tu amor

Porque tu sabes que sin tí
La vida es nada para mí
Tu bien lo sabes
Capullito de alhelí

.........................

Preciosa te llaman las olas
del mar que te baña
Preciosa por ser
un encanto,
Por ser un edén
Y tienes la noble hidalgía
de la Madre España
Y el fiero cantillo
Del indio bravillo
lo tienes también

Preciosa te llaman los bardos
Que cantan tu historia
No importa el tirano
te trate con negra maldad

Preciosa serás sin bandera,
Sin lauros ni gloria
Preciosa, preciosa
te llaman
Los hijos de la libertad...

.........................

Y alegre el jibarito
va
Pensando así, diciendo así
Cantando así por el camino

Si yo vendo la carga
mi Dios querido
Un traje a mi viejita voy a comprar
Borinquen... yo también

A cumba-cumba-cumba drumplayer
A bongo bongo bongo bongoplayer
Pri-qui-ti it's going to sound
When the drumplayer
goes by
Bongoplayer goes by

A cumba-cumba-cumba drumplayer
A bongo bongo bongo bongoplayer
Pri-qui-ti it's going to sound
When the drumplayer
goes by
Bongoplayer goes by

And the drum sounds like this:
pri-qui-ti-bum-bam
And again he repeats:
pri-qui-ti-bum-bam

A cumba-cumba-cumba drumplayer
A bongo bongo bongo bongoplayer
Pri-qui-ti it's going to sound
When the drumplayer
goes by
Bongoplayer goes by

.........................

Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le
Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le

You hear the coqui
As they go to sleep
Who knows what it is
That brings you close to the aura
And the Mozambique it adores

Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le
Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le

One hears a song
Near to the soil for seeds
In the guama (a tree)
And the country boy
in his country house
In the border of the river

Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le
Ay, le lo lai le lo le lai le

How lovely when the dawn breaks
And how lovely the morning
God thank you a thousand times
Oh, my land of Borinquen...

.........................

Ay, love don't love me too much
Ay, love don't suffer
any more for me
If no longer can I cause you pain
Ay, love forget about me

I feel sorrow
if you continue suffering
Your love of desperation
I want you to find yourself
Another new person to love

Another person
that brings happiness
That I haven't given all to you
And can get away from you
To never return again

Ay, love don't love me too much
Ay, love don't suffer
any more for me
If I can't cause you anything
but crying
Ay, love forget about me

.........................

Beautiful bud of a flower
If you only knew my pain
You would return my love
And calm my suffering

Because you know without you
Life is nothing for me
You know it very well
Bud of the flower

There's nowhere
in the world for me
Another flower bud
That I offer my passion to
And that I give my heart too

You are the only woman
That I have given all my love
And I offer to you pretty little bud
Fidelity until death

For this I am singing to you
My little flower bud
Give me your seductress scent
And a little bit of your love

Because you know without you
Life is nothing for me
You know it very well
Little flower bud

.........................

Precious they call the waves
of the sea where you bath
Precious for being
an enchantment,
For being the Heaven
And you have the noble sons
of Mother Spain
And the chants
Of the brave indians
you have as well

Precious the call the bards
That sing of your history
No matter that the tyrants
Treat you bad

Precious you are without flag,
Without laurels or glory
Precious, precious,
that's how they call you
The sons of liberty...

.........................

And happy the country man
goes by
Thinking this way, saying this way
Singing this way on the road

If I sell my load,
my dear God
A suit for my mother I will buy
Borinquen... I am as well

ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK
(Sung at Night Express Show, 1997, in Italy)

I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side
You can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's a hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's a hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

La Bandera Puertorriqueña

Holy Mary,

Protect us, Lady
From that terrible animal

Holy Mary,
Release us from this evil
Protect us, Lady
From that terrible animal

.........................

When the women
Love the men
They pledge this on four candles
And place them in every corner

When the women
Love the men
They pledge this on four candles
And place them in every corner

.........................

What a beautiful flag,
What a beautiful flag,
What a beautiful flag,
Is the Flag of Puerto Rico,

What a beautiful flag,
What a beautiful flag,
What a beautiful flag,
Is the Flag of Puerto Rico
