-We gotta go, I wanna show you all I know, the sun is setting and the light is getting low. Are we going to Castle Garden?
Can’t you see, that the day seems clearer now that you are here, or is it me? Maybe it’s just me…
Nina, everything is easier when you're home! The street's a little kinder when you're home!
You were always in constant trouble.. -Then your dad would act all snide, but he’d let me hide, you’d be there inside. Life was easier then.
-Yeah, I ran like hell! I remember well! -To your father’s dispatch window, "Hey, let me in, yo! They’re coming to get me!”
-I would bust it with a wrench till my face got drenched, till I heard the sirens, then I ran like hell! You ran like hell!
-We begin July with a stop at my corner fire hydrant! You would open it every summer!
Can you remind me of what it was like at the top of the world? -Come with me!
I used to think the Bronx was a place in the sky, when the world was just a subway map. And my thoughts took shape on that fire escape…
And the one-slash-nine climbed a dotted line to my place. -There's no nine train now. Right.
I used to think we lived at the top of the world, when the world was just a subway map.
The birds, they fly away. Do they fly to La Vibora? Alright, Mamá. Okay. Paciencia y fe... -Calor, calor, calor!
I buy my loaf of bread, continue with my day. And see you in my head, imagining what you’d say.
What do I do with this winning ticket? What can I do but pray?
And ay Mamá, what do you do when your dreams come true? I’ve spent my life inheriting dreams from you.
And as I feed these birds, my hands begin to shake and as I say these words, my heart’s about to break.
The days into weeks, the weeks into years, and here I stayed. -Paciencia y fe…paciencia y fe...paciencia y fe…
So we cleaned some homes, polishing with pride, scrubbing the whole of the Upper East Side!
Sharing double beds, trying to catch a break, struggling with English. Listening to friends, finally got a job working as a maid.
You better not be late, you better pull your weight…are you better off than you were with the birds of La Vibora?
