SALVADOR

I was born in Puerto Rico

We came here when I was a child

Before I reached the age of sixteen

I was running with the gang and we were wild

He keeps looking but he don't recognize me.

Some guy from Lexington or Park

Red beans and rice from kitchen windows

Supper-time and the barrio is dark.

No one knows you like I do

Nobody can know your heart the way I do

No one can testify to all that you've been

through

But I will.

SAL & THE VAMPIRES

I was born in Puerto Rico

And my blood is Taino

Spanish Caribbean my soul

SALVADOR

We came here wearing summer clothes in

winter

Hearts of sunshine in the cold

Your family rented this apartment

You'd watch the street lamps from your perch

In the sacramental hour your stepfather in

black

Preached the fire of the Pentecostal Church

No one knows you like I do

Nobody can know your heart the way I do

No one can testify to all that you've been

through

But this will.

SAL & THE VAMPIRES

I was born in Puerto Rico

Came here when I was a child.

SALVADOR

Small change and sunlight, then I left these

streets for good.

My days as short as they were wild.

CARLOS APACHE

I'm Carlos Apache

FRENCHY CORDERO

BABU CHARLIE CRUZ

SALVADOR

Your features blurred in every grainy photo

And fading headline of the Daily News

Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children

Auburn, Brooklyn House of D.,

Dannemora, Sing-Sing, Attica,

Greenhaven

SALVADOR

Twenty years inside, today you're free.

You cannot even read your story

The pages piling up in shame

Before the words released you, the guard

would kill the light

The night you took The Capeman for your

name.

CHORUS

I was born in Puerto Rico

I was born in Puerto Rico

I was born in Puerto Rico

I was born in Puerto Rico

I was born in Puerto Rico

I was born in Puerto Rico

I was born in Puerto Rico

I was born in Puerto Rico
