Olga Merediz - Hundreds of Stories lyrics

[USNAVI] Abuela [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Are you OK? [ABUELA CLAUDIA/USNAVI] Paciencia y fe! Paciencia y fe! [USNAVI] Let me see it again! [ABUELA CLAUDIA] We kept it safe [USNAVI] So we survived the night, what happens today? [ABUELA CLAUDIA] A third for you [USNAVI] Uh huh, uh huh! Uh huh, uh huh! [ABUELA CLAUDIA] A third for me! [USNAVI] No pare! Sigue, sigue! [ABUELA CLAUDIA] The rest for Sonny— And with our share of the money And with our share of the money— Dream of the seaside air! See me beside you there! Think of the hundreds of stories we will share! You and I! [USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA] Ayy… [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Now you can sell your store! Open a bar by the shore! I've told you hundreds of stories About home. Make some more [USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA] More… [USNAVI] Yo! I know just where to go! There's a little beach named Playa Rincón With no road, you need a rowboat or motorbike To reach this beach, it's just a stone's throw From home My folks' home Before I was born Before they pa**ed on And left me on my own, in New York, with the grocery store They would talk about home, I listened closely for The way they whispered to each other ‘bout the warmer winter weather Inseparable, they even got sick together They never got better… pa**ed away that December And left me with these memories like dyin' embers From a dream I can't remember… Ever since then it's like Another day deeper in debt with different dilemmas The bodega's a mess, I'll be seeing less of Vanessa Abuela I don't know how I can keep it together… [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Remember the story of your name It was engraved on a pa**ing ship on the day your family came Your father said “Usnavi That's what we'll name the baby.” [USNAVI] It really said “U.S Navy,” but hey… I worked with what they gave me okay… [ABUELA CLAUDIA] They'd be so proud of you today! [USNAVI] Then by the end of July [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Uh huh, uh huh! Uh huh, uh huh! [USNAVI] Out where the sea meets the sky! [ABUELA CLAUDIA] No pare! Sigue, sigue! [USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA] Think of the hundreds of stories We'll create You and I! Ay… [ABUELA CLAUDIA] We'll find your island— [USNAVI] I'll find my island sky [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Ay, find your island— [USNAVI] But whatever we do it's— [USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA] You and I!
