[00:00.170] Hey
[00:02.077] Hey
[00:04.428] What's this tonteria that I'm seeing on the street?
[00:10.410] I never thought I'd see the day...
[00:13.988] Since when are Latin people scared of heat?
[00:17.985] When I was a little girl
[00:19.944] growing up in the hills of Vega Alta
[00:23.366] My favorite time of year was Chistmas time!
[00:27.154] Ask me why
[00:28.904] Why
[00:30.576] There wasn't an ounce of snow
[00:33.241] But oh, the coquito would flow
[00:37.473] As we sang the aguinaldo
[00:40.242] The carnaval would begin to grow
[00:44.082] Business is closed, and we're about to go...
[00:50.586] Let's have a carnaval del barrio!
[00:56.255] Wepa!
[00:57.613] Come on, man!
[01:00.617] Carnaval del barrio
[01:07.226] Carnaval del barrio
[01:12.451] Carnaval del barrio
[01:17.701] Carnaval del barrio
[01:21.724] We don't need electricidad!
[01:24.075] Get off your butt, avanza!
[01:26.086] Saca la maraca, bring your tambourine
[01:28.098] Come and join the parranda!
[01:29.770] Wepa!
[01:30.344] Carnaval del barrio
[01:34.341] Carnaval del barrio
[01:38.547] Carnaval del barrio
[01:42.726] Carnaval del barrio
[01:47.350] Ooh, me me me, Dani I have a question
[01:50.694] I don't know what you're cantando
[01:52.052] Just make it up as you go
[01:54.142] We are improvisando
[01:56.258] Lai le lo lai lo le lo lai
[01:58.374] You can sing anything
[02:00.202] Carla, whatever pops into your head
[02:02.919] Just so long as you sing
[02:04.095] Uh, My mom is Dominican-Cuban
[02:06.054] My dad is from Chile and P.R., which means:
[02:09.032] I'm Chile-domini-curican...
[02:13.290] but I always say I'm from Queens!
[02:15.066] Wepa!

[02:19.690] Carnaval del barrio
[02:23.974] Why is everyone so happy?
[02:27.108] We're sweating and we have no power!
[02:29.172] I've gotta get out of here soon
[02:31.184] This block's getting worse by the hour!
[02:33.352] You can't even go to a club with a friend
[02:35.363] without having somebody shove you!
[02:37.375] Ay, Por favor,
[02:39.151] Vanessa, don't pretend that Usnavi's your friend
[02:42.390] We all know that he loooooves you~
[02:46.465] Wow, now that you mention that ***ual tension it's easy to see!

[03:10.837] Wow, it involves large amounts
[03:12.953] It's somewhere in the range of 96000
[03:15.331] Atencion, I'm closing shop!
[03:17.028] Sonny, grab everybody a soda-pop!
[03:19.092] Yo, grab a bottle, kiss it up to God,

[03:53.077] Me acuerdo de mi tierra...
[03:56.264] Esa bonita bandera!
[03:57.074] Contiene mi alma entera!
[03:59.086] Y cuando yo me muera,
[04:01.228] Entierrame en mi tierra!
[04:20.454] Everything changes today
[04:22.335] Usnavi's on his way
[04:24.451] Off to a better place
[04:26.540] Look at Vanessa's face!
[04:28.708] Everything changes today
[04:30.772] Goodbye, Mr. Rosario...
[04:32.705] I'm taking over the barrio!
[04:35.213] We're getting out of the barrio!
[04:37.094] Hey, Mr.Benny, have you seen any horses today?
[04:40.986] What do you mean?
[04:42.580] I heard you and Nina went for a roll in the hay!
[04:45.871] Benny and Nina
[04:49.188] Sitting in a tree
[04:51.331] K-i-s-s-i-n-g
[04:56.372] Que bochinche!
[04:57.522] Nina and Benny
[04:59.533] K-i-s-s-i-n-g
[05:03.817] Hold up, wait a minute
[05:05.985] Usnavi's leaving us for the Dominican Republic?
[05:08.963] And Benny went and stole the girl that I'm in love with?
[05:10.948] She was my babysitter first!
[05:12.437] Listen up, is this what y'all want?
[05:14.501] We close this bodega,
[05:15.624] The neighboorhood is gone!
[05:16.800] They're selling the dispatcher
[05:17.740] They're closing the salon
[05:18.864] And they'll never turn the lights back on
[05:20.353] 'Cuz we are powerless, we are powerless
[05:24.663] And y'all keep dancin' and singin' and celebratin'
[05:27.118] And it's gettin' late and this place is disintergratin' and-
[05:29.182] We are powerless, we are powerless
[05:33.806] Alright, we're powerless, so light up a candle!
[05:35.739] There's nothing going on here that we can't handle!
[05:37.933] You don't understand, I'm not trying to be funny!
[05:40.624] We're gonna gove a third of the money to you Sonny!
[05:42.661] What?
[05:44.359] Yeah, yeah!
[05:45.770] For real?
[05:46.841] Yes!
[05:47.912] Maybe you're right, Sonny. Call in the coroners!
[05:50.263] Maybe we're powerless, a corner full of foreigners.
[05:52.379] Maybe this neighborhood's changing forever
[05:54.756] Maybe tonight is our last night together, however!
[05:58.100] How do you wanna face it?
[05:59.406] Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it?
[06:02.540] Y'all could cry with your head in the sand
[06:04.134] Im'ma fly this flag that I got in my hand
[06:06.668] Pa'rriba esa bandera!
[06:08.731] Alzala donde quiera!
[06:10.795] Can we raise our voice tonight?
[06:13.198] Can we make a little noise tonight?
[06:15.393] Esa bonita bandera!
[06:17.456] Contiene mi alma entera!
[06:19.624] In fact, can we sing so loud and raucous
[06:21.819] They can hear us across the bridge in East Secaucus?
[06:24.065] Pa'rriba esa bandera!
[06:26.077] Alzala donde quiera!
[06:28.193] From Puerto Rico to Santo Dominigo,
[06:29.838] Wherever we go, we rap our people and the beat go...
[06:32.633] Esa bonita bandera!
[06:34.802] Contiene mi alma entera!
[06:36.473] Vanessa, forget about what coulda been
[06:38.354] Dance with me, one last night, in the hood again
[06:41.828] Wepa!
