[00:04.22] Hey!

[00:06.47] Hey!

[00:08.73] What's this tontería that I'm seeing on the street?

[00:14.47] I never thought I'd see the day

[00:17.97] Since when are Latin people scared of heat?

[00:22.47] When I was a little girl

[00:23.97] Growing up in the hills of Vega Alta

[00:27.74] My favorite time of year was Christmas time!

[00:32.48] Ask me why! (Why?)

[00:34.72] There wasn't an ounce of snow

[00:37.47] But oh, the coquito would flow!

[00:41.72] As we sang the Aguinaldo

[00:43.73] The carnaval would begin to grow!

[00:48.47] Business is closed, and we're about to go

[00:54.50] Let's have a carnaval del barrio! (¡Wepa!)

[01:02.98] ¡Carnaval del barrio!

[01:09.73] ¡Carnaval del barrio!

[01:14.99] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[01:17.23] Del barrio (¡barrio!)

[01:19.72] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[01:21.98] Del barrio (¡barrio!)

[01:24.23] We don't need electricidad!

[01:26.23] Get off your butt, ¡avanza!

[01:28.47] Saca la maraca, bring your tambourine

[01:30.47] Come and join the parranda

[01:31.97] Hey!

[01:33.49] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[01:34.48] Del barrio (¡barrio!)

[01:36.47] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[01:38.47] Del barrio (¡barrio!)

[01:40.74] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[01:42.73] Del barrio (¡barrio!)

[01:45.22] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[01:46.98] Del barrio (¡del barrio!)

[01:49.73] Oh, me, me, me! Dani I have a question

[01:52.48] I don't know what you're cantando

[01:54.47] Just make it up as you go!

[01:56.72] We are improvisando!

[01:58.73] Lai le lo lai lo le lo lai!

[02:00.72] You can sing anything! (Wait, what?)

[02:02.97] Carla, whatever comes into your head

[02:04.98] Just so long as you sing!

[02:06.72] Uh, my mom is Dominican-Cuban

[02:08.22] My dad is from Chile and P.R. which means

[02:11.24] I'm Chile-Domini-Curican

[02:14.47] But I always say I'm from Queens!

[02:15.97] Hey!

[02:16.98] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[02:18.47] Del barrio (¡barrio!)

[02:20.47] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[02:22.48] Del barrio (¡del barrio!)

[02:24.97] Why is everyone so happy?

[02:27.97] We're sweating and we have no power!

[02:29.98] I gotta get out of here soon

[02:31.72] This block's getting worse by the hour!

[02:34.22] You can't even go to a club with a friend

[02:36.23] Without having somebody shove you!

[02:38.47] Ay, por favor

[02:40.48] Vanessa, don't pretend that Usnavi's your friend

[02:43.22] (We all know that he love you!)

[02:45.48] (Ooh!)

[02:46.97] Wow, now that you mention that sexual tension is easy to see!

[02:51.97] Yo, this is bogus!

[02:53.48] Haven't you noticed

[02:54.48] You get all your coffee for free? (Hey!)

[02:56.47] Carnaval (¡carnaval!)

[02:58.47] Del barrio (¡barrio!)

[03:05.48] Yo! Yo! Yo, y-y-yo-yo!

[03:06.98] Now, now, everyone gather 'round

[03:09.22] Sit down, listen, I got an announcement

[03:11.22] Wow, there's nothing here holding me down

[03:13.48] The word is out, tell the whole town I'm bouncin'

[03:15.72] Atención, I'm closin' shop!

[03:17.48] Sonny, grab everybody a soda-pop!

[03:19.48] Twist off the bottle, kiss it up to God

[03:21.72] I miss Abuela Claudia, it's time to fly though

[03:24.73] Daniela, Carla, pack up the carro

[03:29.22] I'm bookin' a flight for D.R. tomorrow!

[03:31.22] Oh my gah!

[05:00.11] They selling the dispatch

[05:01.13] And they closing the salón

[05:02.09] And they'll never turn the lights back on, 'cause

[05:04.12] We are powerless, we are powerless!

[05:08.10] And y'all keep dancin' and singin' and celebratin'

[05:10.09] And it's gettin' late and this place disintegratin'

[05:12.36] We are powerless, we are powerless!

[05:16.84] Alright, we're powerless, so light up a candle

[05:18.84] There's nothing going on here that we can't handle

[05:21.09] Maybe you're right, Sonny, call in the coroners

[05:23.34] Maybe we're powerless, a corner full of foreigners

[05:26.10] Maybe this neighborhood's changing forever

[05:28.34] Maybe tonight is our last night together, however!

[05:31.10] How do you want to face it?

[05:33.10] Do you wanna waste it

[05:34.34] When the end is so close you can taste it?

[05:36.10] Y'all could cry with your head in the sand
