Un día mas
Another day, another destiny
And Mister Softee's coming after me
These men who want my block of ice
Will surely eat my beans and rice
Un día mas
[BENNY]
I did not live until today
How can I live when we are parted?
[NINA]
Que?
Que amo se...
[BENNY/NINA]
And so I say "Paciencia y Fe!"
I love you so much I just schnarted
[SONNY]
One more day all on my own
One more day with him not caring
I was in the movie 'Camp'
But he never saw me there
[BENNY/NINA]
Will we ever meet again?
I was born to sing with you
And I swear I will be true
[USNAVI]
Yo yo yo
One more day inside this store
I ain't taking it no more, I'm ready to go to war
The gentrification train is at the station
Next stop - economic destablization!
We had a blackout, somebody won the lottery
But critics aren't happy without a Latino robbery
So Usnavi gon' do it properly
Who's gonna follow me?
[BENNY]
Will I follow where she goes?
Will I meet my brothers there?
Will Vanessa play Javert?
[SONNY/NINA]
The time is now
The day is here
[USNAVI/BENNY]
What? What? What?
What?
[VANESSA]
I'm impossibly attractive
Dumps like a truck and thighs like what
I will wear a skirt so short
The first three rows can see my butt!
[PIRAGUA GUY]
Un día mas
Un día mas
[USNAVI]
Yo!
[CARLA/DANIELA]
Watch 'em run amok, pass them as they go
Twenty-three Latinos in a Broadway show
Not a lot of drugs, not a lot of crime
Quite a lot of write-ups in the New York Times
[COMMUNITY 1]
And our neighborhood is changing
Rents are rising every day
So we'll start a revolution
Mister Softee's on his way!
[COMMUNITY 2]
There's a Starbucks on my block!
Rents we can't afford to pay
Grab your gun, I'll grab my Glock!
[MISTER SOFTEE]
My place is here
I fight with you!
[CARLA/DANIELA]
Watch 'em run amok, pass them as they go
Twenty-three Latinos in a Broadway show
Not a lot of drugs, not a lot of crime
Quite a lot of write-ups in the New York Times
Watch 'em run amok, pass them as they go
Twenty-three Latinos in a Broadway show
Not a lot of drugs
[BENNY/NINA]
I did not live until today
How can I live when we are parted?
And so I say "Paciencia y Fe!"
I love you so much
[SONNY]
One more day all on my own
[USNAVI]
What? What?
What? What?
What? What?
What? What?
What?
[PIRAGUA GUY]
Un día mas
Un día mas
[ALL]
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Mañana we'll discover what this thing called Broadway wants of us
Mas sabor, mas calor
Un día mas!
In Washington Heights!
