[00:01.31] This isn’t happening
[00:04.71] Inútil! Useless
[00:11.40] Just like my father was before me:
[00:15.80] Inútil! Useless
[00:21.91] And every day
[00:23.95] He cut the cane
[00:25.39] He came home late and prayed for rain
[00:29.11] Prayed for rain
[00:32.67] And on the days
[00:33.93] When nothing came
[00:35.50] My father’s face was lined with shame
[00:38.77] He’d sit me down beside him and he’d say,
[00:43.71] “My father was a farmer,
[00:46.15] His father was a farmer,
[00:48.73] And you will be a farmer.”
[00:51.30] But I told him, “Papi, I’m sorry, I’m going farther.
[00:56.54] I’m getting on a plane.
[00:59.50] And I am gonna change the world someday!”
[01:02.39] And he slapped my face
[01:05.30] He stood there, staring at me, useless
[01:13.65] Today my daughter’s home and I am… useless
[01:24.59] And as a baby she amazed me with
[01:27.98] The things she learned each day
[01:34.64] She used to stay on the fire escape
[01:38.10] While all the other kids would play
[01:42.54] And I would stand beside her and I’d say:
[01:46.47] “I’m proud to be your father
[01:48.75] ‘Cuz you work so much harder
[01:51.39] And you are so much smarter
[01:53.93] Than I was at your age.”
[01:56.71] And I always knew that she would fly away
[02:01.73] That she was gonna change the world someday
[02:09.55] I will not be the reason
[02:14.81] That my family can’t succeed
[02:19.32] I will do what it takes
[02:24.60] They’ll have everything they need
[02:29.16] Or all my work, all my life
[02:33.95] Everything I’ve sacrificed will have been useless
[00:01.31] This isn' t happening
[00:04.71] Inu til! Useless
[00:11.40] Just like my father was before me:
[00:15.80] Inu til! Useless
[00:21.91] And every day
[00:23.95] He cut the cane
[00:25.39] He came home late and prayed for rain
[00:29.11] Prayed for rain
[00:32.67] And on the days
[00:33.93] When nothing came
