I was born in Puerto Rico
We came here when I was a child
Before I reached the age of sixteen
I was running with the
gang and we were wild
He keeps looking but he
don't recognize me.
Some guy from Lexington or Park
Red beans and rice from kitchen windows
It' supper-time and the barrio is dark.
No one knows you like I do
Nobody can know your heart the way I do
No one can testify to all that
you've been through
But I will.
SAL & THE VAMPIRES
I was born in Puerto Rico
And my blood is Taino
Spanish Caribbean my soul
SALVADOR
We came here wearing summer
clothes in winter
Hearts of sunshine in the cold
Your family rented this apartment
you'd watch the street
lamps from your perch
In the sacramental hour your
stepfather in black
Preached the fire of the
Pentecostal Church
No one knows you like I do
Nobody can know your heart the way I do
No one can testify to all that
you've been through
But this will.
SAL & THE VAMPIRES
I was born in Puerto Rico
Came here when I was a child.
SALVADOR
Small change and sunlight,
then I left these streets
for good.
My days as short as they were wild.

SALVADOR
Your features blurred in
every grainy photo
And fading headline of the Daily News
Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children
Auburn, Brooklyn House of D.,
Dannemora, Sing-Sing, Attica,
Greenhaven
SALVADOR
Twenty years inside, today you're free.
You cannot even read your story
The pages piling up in shame
Before the words released
you, the guard would kill
the light
The night you took The
Capeman for your name.
Chorus
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico

Yo nací en Puerto Rico
Yo nací en Puerto Rico
Mi corazón es Puerto Rico
Mi alma es Puerto Rico

Growing up in Queens, NY, Simon befriended schoolmate Art Garfunkel, who had an angelic tenor voice, and the two teamed up as Tom & Jerry, taking the names of cartoon characters.
