     Wake up Angelita, your mama just turned off the light
     Manolo is already waiting by the old water-pipe
     Her shoes in one hand she carefully walks down the stairs
     Holding her breath 'cause there's danger and love in the air.

     Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out

     Begging the Virgin won't help when you'll hear Manolito shout,
[Am]              [Dm]    [Am]               [Dm]
     He's already standing under the starlit sky
         [Am]                    [Dm]                    [Am]              [Dm]  
     You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight

     He says he'll be leaving you soon still you beg him to stay
     But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.
     And though he'll be far he promises he'll write every day
     When time will be right he'll come back and he'll take you away
