作曲 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
Nina:I used to think we live at the top of the world
When the world was just a subway map
And the One-slash-Nine climbed a dotted line to my place
Benny:There's no Nine train now
Nina:Right
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
Can you remind me of what it was like
at the top of the world?
Benny:Come with me
We begin July with a stop at my corner fire hydrant
Nina:You would open it every summer
Benny:I would bust it with a wrench
Till my face got drenched
Till I heard the sirens
Then I ran like hell!
Nina:You ran like hell!
Benny:Yeah I ran like hell
Nina:I remember well！
Benny:To your father's dispatch window
"Hey, let me in, yo"
"They are coming to get me!"
Nina:You were always in constant trouble
Benny:Then your dad would act all snide
but he let me hide
You'd be there inside
Nina:Life was easier then
Benny:Nina, everything is easier when you are home
The streets are little kinder cause you are home
Can't you see?
That the day seems clearer
Now that you are here or it is me...
Maybe it's just me
We gotta go I wanna show you all I know
The sun is setting and the light is getting low
Nina:Are we going to Castle Garden?
Benny:Maybe, maybe not, but way to take a shot, when the day is hot
I got a perfect shady spot a little ways away that oughta
cool us down
Nina:Cool us down!
Benny:Welcome back to town!
Nina:Now back in high school when it darkened
you'd hang out in Bennett Park and
Benny:Usnavi would bring his radio
Nina:As I walked home from senior studies
I'd see you rapping with your buddies
Benny:With the volume high
Nina:I walked on by
Benny:You walked on by
(No pare, Sigue! Sigue!)
(When you are home)
Benny:Oh. the summer nights are cooler
(When you are home)
Nina:Now that you are here with me
Benny:And the song you are hearing
is the neighborhood just cheering you along
Nina:Don't say that
Benny:What's wrong?
Nina:Don't say that!
When I was younger
I'd imagine what would happen
If my parents had stayed in Puerto Rico？
Who would I be
if I had never seen Manhattan?
If I lived in Puerto Rico with my people?
My people
I feel like all my life i've tried to find the answer
Working harder, learning Spanish, learning all I can
I thought I might find the answers out at Stanford
But I'd stare out at the sea
Thinking, where am I supposed to be?
So please don't say you are proud of me
when I've lost my way...
Benny:Then can I say
I couldn't get my mind off you all day
Now listen to me
That may be how you perceive it
but Nina, please believe
That when you find your way again
You are gonna change the world and then
We are all gonna brag and say we knew you when
This was your home
Nina:I'm home
Benny:Welcome home!
Nina:When you are here with me
Benny:Welcome home!
Nina:I used to think we live at the top of the world
Benny:Welcome home!
Nina:I'm home！
Benny:You'll find me home
Nina:I'm home
