MUSIC: D. Schoufs/D. Schoovaerts   LYRICS: D. Schoufs/D. Schoovaerts   Wake up Angelita, your mama just turned off the light   Manolo is already waiting by the old water-pipe   Her shoes in one hand she carefully walks down the stairs   Holding her breath 'cause there's danger and love in the air.   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico   Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out   Begging the Virgin won't help when you hear Manolito shout,   Manolito shout   He's already standing under the starlit sky   You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico   He says he'll be leaving you soon still you beg him to stay   But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.   And though he'll be far he promises he'll write every day   When time will be right, he'll come back and he'll take you away   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico   Your papa don't like him, he says he's no good   He steals and he fights and he never behaves, like a young man should   Angelita she knows, he's not that bad inside   She takes the medal, she wears on a chain, and presses it into his palm.   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico   Aie aie aie aie aie aie Puerto Rico
